Cloud Notifications

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Notifications is a highly available, low-latency publish/subscribe (pub/sub) service that sends alerts and messages to Oracle Functions, email, SMS, and message delivery partners, including Slack, PagerDuty, and ServiceNow. The service integrates with Oracle Identity and Access Management for secure access, and delivers each message, even during traffic bursts.

Trigger with Events Service

Notify based on a variety of Events, such as a new file in object storage or a newly provisioned compute instance.

Easily execute serverless applications

Use Notifications to trigger Functions that execute snippets of code. For example, to automatically scale up an Oracle Autonomous Database instance, or change the shape of a compute instance.


Security features

Identity and access controls

Integration with Identity and Access Management provides granular access controls to only specific users in the organization, helping safeguard personal information and prevent malicious activity.

Reliability

Delivery assurance

Notifications will attempt to deliver all messages at least once, with continual retries for two hours.

Highly available architecture

Notifications can handle bursts in traffic and failures in infrastructure.

Support for cloud native applications

Use cases for OCI Notifications

FEBRUARY 6, 2024

Simplified Data Safe Notifications Improve Data Security Visibility

Bettina Schaeumer, Senior Principal Product Manager

Notifications in OCI provide a common, efficient infrastructure for operational alerts and application integration. OCI notifications are reliable, low latency, and they implement a publish and subscribe paradigm that reduces the need for polling by connected applications. Setting up notifications from scratch can be challenging, however. This is why Data Safe now makes it easier to configure notifications. Notifications allow you to quickly set up and receive messages informing you about a variety of different events and conditions in Data Safe.
