Preface

Oracle Autonomous Database (ADB) is built on the world’s fastest Oracle Database platform, Exadata, and is delivered on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), the 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 ADB.

You’ll get to grips with the concepts that you need to understand to design disaster recovery using a standby database deployment for ADB. 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 ADB, along with exploring the features of ADB 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 ADB 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 ADB.
