What is an Autonomous Database?
An autonomous database is a cloud database that uses machine learning to automate database tuning, security, backups, updates, and other routine management tasks traditionally performed by DBAs. Unlike a conventional database, an autonomous database performs all these tasks and more without human intervention.
Databases store critical business information and are essential for the efficient operation of modern organizations. DBAs are often overburdened with the time-consuming manual tasks of managing and maintaining databases. The demands of current workloads can lead to DBA errors, which can have a catastrophic impact on uptime, performance, and security.
The amount and velocity of data available to the enterprise is accelerating. This amplifies the need for efficient, secure database management that enhances data security, reduces downtime, improves performance, and is not vulnerable to human error. An autonomous database can achieve these objectives.
