Oracle Database Cloud Service

Oracle's autonomous database. A self driving database.

Oracle Database Cloud Service is a database as a service offering from the software giant. It gives you a complete database instance from a VM or virtual machine. So you basically get an Oracle Database with all the features, the bells and whistles but you get it on the cloud instead of an on premise system.

That is right, you get all the operations and features that you would find in Oracle Database, with Oracle hosting the cloud storage and virtual machine. You also get to use either the command line interface or an easy to use and intuitive cloud portal to manage your database on the cloud.

You no longer have to buy and maintain the necessary hardware to run a database. You can easily backup and recover your database and there will be no complex activities to do such as software patches and upgrades. And your cloud based database is fully interoperable with other Oracle database that you have onsite.

And compared to other similar services, Oracle is different in that it gives you full administrative control to your database, including SYS database access and root OS. You can also do your own automations and scripts.

But what’s more important is that you do not have to learn anything new if you have been using Oracle Database for a long time. Because you will be familiar with the Database Cloud Service because it looks, feels and function like an on premise Oracle Database setup. What’s more, you can use all Oracle applications and tools that you have been using in order to connect to the database.

Why get into the cloud for your database?

There are many reasons why you should turn to the cloud for your database. Here are some:

  1. Fast. You can get the Oracle Database Cloud Service in just a few minutes and you can start using it immediately.
  2. Options. There are several selections for you to choose from, including different database versions, a variety of database options, Enterprise Manager packs and even access methods.
