Oracle Autonomous Database in Enterprise Architecture: Utilize Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Autonomous Databases for better consolidation, automation, and security

Get up to speed with Oracle’s Autonomous Databases and implementation strategies for any workload or use case, including transactional, data warehousing, and non-relational databases

Key Features

• Explore ADB, its business benefits, and architectural considerations
• Migrate the existing workload to ADB, explore high availability, and use cloud native methods for monitoring and event notifications
• Leverage APEX, JSON, the REST API, and SQL Developer Web features for rapid development

Book Description

Oracle Autonomous Database (ADB) is built on the world’s fastest Oracle Database Platform, Exadata, and is delivered on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), customer data center (ExaCC), and Oracle Dedicated Region Cloud. This book is a fast-paced, hands-on introduction to the most important aspects of OCI Autonomous Databases.

You’ll get to grips with concepts needed for designing disaster recovery using standby database deployment for Autonomous Databases. As you progress, you’ll understand how you can take advantage of automatic backup and restore. The concluding chapters will cover topics such as the security aspects of databases to help you learn about managing Autonomous Databases, along with exploring the features of Autonomous Database security such as Data Safe and customer-managed keys for Vaults.

By the end of this Oracle book, you’ll be able to build and deploy an Autonomous Database in OCI, migrate databases to ADB, comfortably set up additional high-availability features such as Autonomous Data Guard, and understand end-to-end operations with ADBs.

What you will learn

• Explore migration methods available for Autonomous Databases, using both online and offline methods
• Create standby databases, RTO and RPO objectives, and Autonomous Data Guard operations
• Become well-versed with automatic and manual backups available in ADB
• Implement best practices relating to network, security, and IAM policies
• Manage database performance and log management in ADB
• Understand how to perform data masking and manage encryption keys in OCI’s Autonomous Databases
