Oracle Base Database Service overview

“

at the Oracle Base Database service, which runs in Oracle's Public Cloud. The Oracle Base Database Service enables you to maintain absolute control over your data while using the combined capabilities Now let's dig into the powerful set of cloud automation functions and tools that the Base Database Service provides to allow you to easily conduct database lifecycle operational tasks on your schedule. Having automated database lifecycle management capabilities in the cloud helps IT teams to avoid configuration and maintenance errors, and reduces the required database administration workload and the time required to deploy new database environments. Database lifecycle management in the cloud automates time-consuming tasks such as database provisioning, resource scaling, patching, backup and recovery, HA and DR deployments with Data Guard, all on your schedule with security built in at all layers. Cloud automation frees your DBA team from these tasks, allowing them to focus on delivering value-added functions to their line of business. When you run the Oracle Database in the cloud, you have a choice of two cost-effective compute core licensing models that you can leverage to best meet your business needs. The license-included model includes all of the Oracle Database Enterprise Edition options, plus the Oracle Database Enterprise Manager packs. This subscription model is ideal for customers without sufficient existing Oracle Database licenses seeking to build new applications, or customers seeking to use Oracle Database features beyond what they're currently licensed to use. The cost efficiency of license-included model and elastic OCPU metering usually drives innovation with Oracle Database features that might have been out of reach due to cost with the on-premise licensing model. The bring your own license model is designed to minimize costs when migrating existing workloads to the cloud. In a BYOL model, customers can deploy their existing database and database option licenses to their Oracle Cloud Database service. When a customer brings an Oracle Database Enterprise Edition license to the Oracle Cloud with the BYOL model, they're granted the rights to use transparent data encryption, diagnostic pack, tuning pact, data masking and subsetting pack, and real application testing without needing to bring those licenses to the cloud. BYOL customers can also save on their existing Oracle Database software support costs by leveraging the Oracle Support Rewards program, which provides them with 25% credit of their cloud spend that can be applied towards their on-premise support bill. accessed, used, maintained, and destroyed.
