In this series of Blog posts I will share short videos demonstrating how storage data services can be used to perform many common data management and CDM (Copy Data Management) tasks using simply scripting, DevOPS automation tools and Pure Storage REST API’s .
Oracle 12c Database Reset
The video starts by refreshing an Oracle 12c database, and then simulates a typical development workflow process, where development databases are refreshed from production and then updated with:
- New application configuration and setup
- Additional synthetic and manufactured data supplement production data sets
- Data masking and cleansing scripts.
- Housekeeping routines e.g. clean-up workflow / staging tables
The video shows me taking a crash-consistent snapshot using a python script I have developed (available at code.purestorage.com) using the Pure Storage REST API’s.
The video then proceeds to perform further updates and changes, before resetting the database back to the initial clone simulating an application test issue due to problems with the initial set-up and configuration.
