Cloud Migration --Oracle on OCI/AWS/Azure --how to tailor the migration to the cloud providerWhat are the key steps to follow for successfully migrating oracle from on-prem to the cloud ( OCI/AWS/AZURE) Presentation will illustrate the tasks to follow while planning a migration of an Oracle database to the cloud. Based on each provider there are differences in what can and can not be done. What are the Do's and Don’t based on the cloud provider to ensure the migration is successful? How do we ensure we have a cloud-based database that is performing at its optimal irrespective of the provider? Once migrated how do we ensure efficient performancePresentation will illustrate all the above and give pointers on important tasks to help DBAs plan and implement cloud migration successfully.With the current trend being Cloud migrations-- understanding the steps and details of planning and designing a successful is very highly sought after . Oracle cloud migration to OCI: AWS & Azure will be a feather in any DBAs cap. My presentation details all the know how and will be beneficial to all technical folks.Learning Objectives: 1.

The Oracle Ge2 cloud is better: more powerful: and more secure than the Gen 1 cloud. But Gen 2 has been available since 2019: and many services and features have been added. One area where we saw colossal advancement is in business continuity. Let's understand the cloud-native options available to meet the RPO (recovery point objective) and RTO (recovery time objective). We will discuss the advantages of having Full Stack Disaster Recovery service on OCI.

Buckle up for a rollercoaster ride through the misadventures of Choctaw Nation's journey in Change Management. From doubling in growth post-transition to Oracle Cloud to the realization that change management was an unfamiliar concept: we've navigated the complexities of organizational evolution. Amplifying our change management challenge is the vast decentralization of our organization: spanning most of the southeastern portion of Oklahoma. Join us as we candidly share our experiences: from initial stumbles to ongoing strides in adopting change management strategies. Our tribal government: which operates with and manages grants and tribal funding: has transitioned from legacy systems to Oracle HCM: ORC: ERP: and SCM. Through anecdotes and insights: we'll explore the five perilous paths that we've stumbled down to essentially undermine our own change management strategies: Just Send Emails: Don't Identify All Your Stakeholders: The Sponsors Know What Change Management is…Right??: and Skimp on Training. It's a journey of lessons learned: continuous improvement: and the pursuit of effective change management practices.

Lessons learned from migrating Oracle workloads to OCI cloud. Sometimes: when we identify the computing requirements by looking at the workload data: the administrators are skeptical because the identified CPU requirements were lower than they had on-premises. The truth is that you will see a performance boost with OCI migration (and infrastructure spending reduction). Learn how to estimate Oracle database and application server requirements: compare the performance before and after migration: and learn the critical configurations in OCI that help boost performance.Benefits: Understand various options to run the Oracle database in OCI.Estimate cloud requirements using AWR/Statspack dataLessons learned from migrating over 40 customers to OCI
