Oracle Cloud & Migration
OCI, Azure, Exadata, 23ai/26ai, on-prem → cloud
Moving Oracle to the cloud is less about the destination than the method — and the method decides your downtime, your risk, and whether you can roll back. ZDM, GoldenGate, Data Pump, Data Guard, and RMAN each trade cutover time against complexity and cost, and the right choice depends on your database size, version, and tolerance for downtime. These guides cover the decisions across OCI and Microsoft Azure — including Oracle Database@Azure, Autonomous, Exadata, and 23ai/26ai — vendor-neutral, with the trade-offs spelled out rather than glossed.
