Oracle Autonomous Database in Enterprise Architecture

By: Bal Mukund Sharma, Krishnakumar KM, Rashmi Panda

Overview of this book

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.

Summary

In this chapter, we got some insights into how Autonomous Database provides another layer of protection and high availability by enabling either a local or cross-region standby using the fully automated feature called AuDG. We came to understand the different concepts related to the AuDG operation and the different status changes it goes through when we perform different operations.

With AuDG, it was also interesting to learn about the different switchover and failover scenarios and how the operation proceeds either automatically or with manual intervention required during a cross-region failover. It was also suggested to use the appropriate wallet while establishing a connection to the primary database in a respective region. Please consider some hands-on practice to grasp the underlying concepts better.

If you have an interest in carrying out operations using the APIs or SDKs, you can refer to the public documentation for the AuDG APIs so that you can automate some...
