Executed the migration of the WebLogic Server Administration on-premises course modules and environment to the Oracle Public Cloud, including migrating an on-premises Oracle database to a Pluggable Database on Oracle Database Cloud Service. Migration also included porting on-premises components for WebLogic Server, Coherence, and Oracle Traffic Director to Oracle Java Cloud Service. The migration tasks include: provisioning and configuring Oracle Database Cloud Service, provisioning and configuring Java Cloud Service, rewriting Oracle database scripts to use a pluggable database, rewriting Java-based WebLogic Server applications for cloud deployment, rewriting python and Bash shell scripts used to configure and deploy applications, creating the Confluence-based lessons and practices, configuring and utilizing the Application Lifecycle Management Developer Cloud Service Git instance as a source code repository, and creating custom CSS stylesheets for student guide PDF output that meets Oracle University requirements.
