Topology Options

13. April 2-6, 2017 in Las Vegas, NV USA #C17LV
Deployment Approach
• New implementation or Upgrade
• Use the Vision or Fresh Install Images from Marketplace
• Lift and Shift
• Use EBS Provisioning Server to deploy
• DB on Compute/DBCS/EXCS
• RAC option only available with DbCS/ExCS
• MT on Compute
• Oracle Traffic Director ( Load balancer ) on compute
• Add additional MTs

Lift n Shift
Remote Clone Utility
• Delivered via patch 22336899
• Does hot backup of DB & Apps
• Can push the backup to Oracle Storage Cloud Service
• Or Stage Directory on Provisioning Server
• Configuration File – cln.props
• Invoked using “perl ebsclone.pl”

15. April 2-6, 2017 in Las Vegas, NV USA #C17LV
Lift n Shift
Provision Tool
• Invoked using “perl ProvisionEBS.pl’
• Can deploy Fresh/Vision Instance using prebuilt oracle Images
to Compute + DBcS
• Can deploy Backup taken using RemoteClone Utility to
Compute + DBcS
• As a post step, One off DB Patches need to applied manually
• Manage Deployed Instances
• Add Node, Delete, Backup
• Workflow, OAM, SOA Integration
• Can add Stage Dir on Provisioning VM

Licensing
• If you deploy EBS DB on Compute
• can use your existing EBS licenses
• Bring your own license (BYOL) model
• Just pay for used compute resources only
• If DB is deployed on DBCS or EXCS
• Can not use your existing licenses
• Need to pay for DBCS/EXCS resources used

Limitations
• Max Database size 12TB with cloud backup option
• Max Database size 4.6TB with local backup option(FRA)
