This year’s UKOUG Tech13 conference is kicking off with a free SuperSunday event.

You can choose between 7 streams:

• Hands on Engineered Systems
• Analytics – Pulling the Threads Together
• Database Technology 1 & 2
• Real World Lessons from ADF Ninjas
• Extending APEX out of the Box
• WebLogic Hackathon

The best and most interesting is of course the WebLogic Hackathon 😉

I have been working with a great group of people to prepare the WebLogic Hackathon:

• Simon Haslam – @simon_haslam
• Ronald van Luttikhuizen – @rluttikhuizen
• Jacco H. Landlust – @oraclemva
• Guido Schmutz – @gschmutz

The theme for the day is configuration management and automation.

I have prepared a lab where participants can try to do a silent and scripted installation/deployment of WebLogic Server 12.1.2 via the standard Oracle tools.

We will use a Linux Server running on the participants laptops via VirtualBox.

Scripting will save you time and make installations identical and hereby maximize predictability.

While scripting is a good start, the next step is to use real configuration management tools to help you out.

There will be a hands-on lab with Puppet and if time permits also one for Chef.

Because this is a hands-on event there is a limited numbers of seats so sign up immediately 🙂
