So, I'm working in an enviornment that utilizes GCC High/365 Gov't Community Cloud High. I haven't seen any documentation online (or I could be missing it entirely) on if it can support Azure boards? We'd love to set up an Azure Board for our company branches to more effectively communicate, along with general bug reporting and issue tracking. Does GCC High support Azure Boards?
This isn't currently supported, see this article and this community post.
Glad to see you in Developer Community!
Azure Devops service is not supported for GCC High accounts. As per
our doc mentioned below:
Ensure you're using Azure AD Public. Connecting Azure DevOps Services
organizations to Azure AD Government and accessing Azure DevOps
Services with user accounts from Azure AD Government isn't supported.
The Google Identity Platform documentation only mentions MFA via SMS. Are procedures like TOTP really not supported? Is that planned for the near future?
For a sophisticated corporate application, it seems necessary to me, both for security reasons and for the cost of SMS.
I am getting confused on these 3 terms. What I know OCI is infrastructure provided by Oracle, IAM is user and IDCS is Identity cloud service. But I dont understand differences and terms.
Is IAM user and normal user are same?
is OCI and IDCS are same?
What exactly IDCS is?
Let me try to answer your questions:
IAM or Identity Access Management is a tool designed to control who access to your cloud services. IAM user is an user who access to a service in your Cloud. What do you mean by normal user I cannot know.
OCI or Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, is a deep and broad platform of cloud services that enable you to build and run a wide range of applications in a scalable, secure, highly available, fault-tolerant and high-performance environment.
Oracle Identity Cloud Service (IDCS) is an Identity-as-a-Service (IDaaS) solution available in Oracle Cloud. It is designed to extend enterprise controls by automating PaaS and SaaS account provisioning and deprovisioning, simplifying the user experience for accessing cloud applications by providing seamless integration with enterprise identity stores and authentication services, and facilitating compliance activities by clearly reporting on cloud application usage.
Although it look like IDCS and IAM might look the same, they are designed to different purposes. IDCS is focused on SaaS or PaaS services by integrating itself with identity stores as Active Directory or LDAP inside organizations. IAM is designed to control Cloud resources providing access to each component, like a block storage or a computer instance.
Hope it clarifies a bit.

First of all
OCI refer to Oracle Cloud infrastructure and it's cloud computing solutions same as MS azure or amazon AWS, but offered by Oracle and it's providing various services such as servers, storage, network, applications and services through a global network of Oracle Corporation managed by different data center around the world.
IAM refer to Identity and Access Management this is services allow you to control who can access to cloud resource and even control what type of access they have, and to which specific resource, there is different Components of IAM such as resource, user, group and more you can check Oracle documentation that provide also examples here
IDCS refer to Oracle Identity Cloud Service and it's consider as Identity-as-a-Service (IDaaS) solution, Oracle Identity Cloud Service provides identity management, single-sign-on (SSO) and identity governance for applications on-premise, in the cloud and mobile applications , Any user can access the application at any time, anywhere on a device in a secure manner. Oracle IDCS integrates directly with existing directories and identity management system, making it easier for users to access applications. Providing a platform that is robust and secure, allows users to access, develop and deploy their applications.
Check the documentation here
The benefits of implementing Oracle Identity Cloud Service are; Improved Business Responsiveness, Enhanced User Productivity and Experience, Hybrid Multi-Channel Access and finally Simplified IT and Reduced Cost.
In addition to the answers above, IDCS can play role of IDP for federated login to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure console.
I have a need to add a centralized caching store for one of my projects serving the government. Does anyone know if memcached (or any other store) is FedRAMP certified ?
I know (:think) AWS ElastiCache is FedRAMP certified, however, I "can't" use a Cloud Store for the Cache as the software can be installed isolated from the internet.
Doesn't appear so on the FedRAMP website. Also, I believe FedRAMP only applies to SAAS, PAAS, and IAAS products.
We are planning to use Okta as our identity provider and found some resources on its developer site, we was thinking to use Database sync option, we have already number of users on our own database so I want some detailed technical guidance that how we can sync things with Okta and how later we can support SAML 2.0 protocol with other identity providers.
Please provide some detailed things for start point. we are using mysql databases right now.
It would be great support if all technical resources in detail because I dont found enough detailed checklist on side.
Thanks
