Multi-Cloud Distributed SQL: Avoiding Region Failure with YugabyteDB

As Amazon CTO Werner Vogels often reminds us: ”Everything fails, all the time”. This means any component of the infrastructure will fail at some point. However, with more and more software being deployed in the cloud, today’s infrastructure must provide redundancy. In addition, the applications that sit on top of it must provide continuity over failures.

This involves database replication when the failure concerns data in motion. But there are different levels of failures and different protection technologies.

Using GIN Indexes in YugabyteDB

At Yugabyte, we are committed to complete PostgreSQL compatibility. Similar to PostgreSQL, YugabyteDB supports the following three container column types. These three data types are extremely useful in various cases:

Each data type’s utility is severely limited without an efficient way to index them.

YugabyteDB on OKE (Oracle Cloud Kubernetes)

We have documented how to install YugabyteDB on the main cloud providers (https://docs.yugabyte.com/latest/deploy/public-clouds). And when I joined Yugabyte, many friends from the oracle community asked me about the Oracle Cloud (OCI).

In the Oracle Cloud there are 2 ways to run containers:
