Deploying on OCI with the starter kit – part 8 (using MySQL REST Service)
The starter kit deploys a MySQL HeatWave DB System on OCI and enables the MySQL REST Service automatically:

The REST Service enables us to provide access to data without requiring SQL. It also provides access to some Gen AI functionalities available in MySQL

Deploying on OCI with the starter kit – part 7 (GenAI in HeatWave)
We saw in part 6 how to use OCI's GenAI Service. GenAI Service uses GPUs for the LLMs, but did you know it's also possible to use GenAI directly in MySQL HeatWave? And by default, those LLMs will run on CPU. The cost will then be reduced.

This means that when you are connected to your MySQL Hea

Be it a dacha in Russia, or a penthouse in Saudi Arabia, it appears Agent Orange is looking for his escape hatch.
Making nice with their two violent and conniving leaders.
And both have no extradition policy with US.

I’m betting Russia, given his penchant for former East Bloc women as wives. And Melanoma is getting long in the tooth, if his bromance with Jeffrey is anything to go by.

Automating Intel Mac Erase and Restore

I have been working on a project to erase and restore any Mac from 2013 to the present. I revisited Mac Intel restores and added a new feature to MDS that works well, though it took some prep. It was challenging because there was no documented way to determine if a macOS version would install on a Mac before restoring. So through some investigating and testing, I came up with a set of rules:

The first rule is a well-known rule. You can’t go backwards easily when installing macOS. The second rule took a while to figure out, and I have not tested on all Macs in all configurations, but it appears there is something special about macOS 11 (Big Sur). Prior to Big Sur, you can update to Big Sur, but not later. If the current Mac is on Big Sur, you can upgrade the OS to the latest (or the latest that the hardware supports, which is the last rule).

To implement this in an automated way, MDS Deploy had to discover 4 pieces of information:

Obtaining the model identifier was easy:

For the currently booted OS:

The version to be installed proved to be a bit tricky, since the installer can be in a disk image, on a remote server, or in a local installer. I opted to have the OS version specified explicitly when creating the workflow:

With all the information, the only missing part was knowing what is the latest macOS version that can be installed on a Mac. The information is available but not in a way that is comprehensive or easily parsable. We were already working on a deterministic way to identify the DFU port of Apple Silicon Macs, so we expanded it to include the latest macOS version that can be installed.

The result makes it very easy to restore any Intel Mac. The Mac is booted into Internet Recovery, then an MDS Deploy utility is run. The utility determines what macOS versions are available, what hardware it is running on and what version of macOS it is booted into, and automatically selects the correct installer:

MDS Deploy also now displays the infomation:

The workflows also show if it can be installed to assist manual selection:

To set this up, all of the installers are included in the MDS workflows, and there is a new setting to run automatically:

In the end, for someone to erase a Mac is simple:

Those two steps can be automated further by using our Automaton to reduce it to two button presses.
