Cloud Migration --Oracle on OCI/AWS/Azure --how to tailor the migration to the cloud provider
What 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 performance.

Presentation will illustrate all the above and give pointers on important tasks to help DBAs plan and implement cloud migration successfully.

In this session, learn about powerful solutions in Enterprise Manager to easily upgrade to 19c non-container to non-container or to multitenant databases via automation and intelligent user interface, at scale. Post upgrade, leverage security patch recommendations, automate recurring patching with minimal downtime to secure, and be compliant with security standards

Cloud services offer inexpensive, limitless resources where database teams can practice and validate performance tuning, high availability, and patching. But, navigating a cloud interface to create hosts, assign disks, and configure networking is tedious and time-consuming. And you still have to install software and prepare the environment!
Enter Terraform, an automation tool that streamlines and simplifies infrastructure builds. In this session, database administrators learn the basics of provisioning a database and supporting infrastructure on Oracle Cloud with Terraform. No prior experience with Terraform or Oracle Cloud is required!

Learn how to migrate on-premises Database with confidence to new on-premises platform, to Autonomous, and to DBCS (ExaCC, ExaCS, BM, or VM). Use Enterprise Manager Migration Workbench to evaluate the readiness of database assets to securely migrate, efficient, and agile while reducing the risks of human error. Find out how the performance of SQL statements in migrated databases are validated automatically.

Oracle Cloud had been around for a while now. Oracle’s cloud infrastructure was launched in 2016 under the name Oracle Bare Metal Cloud Services. It was rebranded Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) in 2018 and is now touted as a “Generation 2 Cloud”. This presentation will explore all the various offerings of Oracle Cloud, their advantages, and disadvantages. I’ll discuss considerations that you should think about when moving to the cloud. Then, I’ll show how you can use Oracle Cloud Free Tier to access several, “Always Free” services for development, small business initiatives or just experimenting with new versions of Oracle DBs.
