Oracle Database Consolidation with Oracle Autonomous Database by granular (GB) storage allocation and fractional OCPU.
This blog post by Ranganath Srirangapatna Ramachandra and Simon Law Principal Product Managers at Oracle summarizes the capabilities/features & usefulness of Oracle Database Consolidation with Oracle Autonomous Database by granular (GB) storage allocation and fractional OCPU.
Here is a quick recap.
- Oracle Autonomous Database is a self-managing database that gives users the added ability of end-to-end automation of tasks which are usually done by DBAs.
- This feature applies to Autonomous Database on Autonomous Database on Cloud@Customer and Dedicated Infrastructure.
- You can now provision Autonomous databases using fractional OCPU and storage in GBs with Release Update 19.11 and higher.
- Fractional OCPU means you can create databases < than 1 OCPU using fractional units, from 0.1 to 0.9 OCPU, with up to 10 databases running on a single OCPU.
- Fractional OCPU and granular (GB) storage facilitates the Autonomous Database users to reduce costs through database consolidation.
- You can now achieve greated denisty utilizing the power of the Exadata Infrastructure without sacrificing the platform's performance, availability, and security.
- Fractional OCPU databases will get performance-related resources allocated proportionally based on the number of OCPUs chosen with integer OCPU Autonomous databases/
- Enter a decimal OCPU count between 0.1 and 0.9 and specify the storage size in GB on the Create Autonomous Database page To create an Autonomous Transaction Processing database with fractional OCPU and storage allocation in GB.
- Fractional OCPU is for < 1 OCPU. For OCPU >= 1, the increment must be in integer.
