Cloud Considerations
Compatability
Compatability
Ensuring that Oracle instances and workload are compatible with the target cloud environment is essential. This includes checking the operating system, virtualization stack, database version, and many other dependencies that are required for the Oracle database to function correctly.
Security
Security
The protection of the Oracle environment throughout the migration process is essential. This includes robust end-to-end data encryption, stringent access controls, effective network segmentation, and ensuring the target cloud environment is thoroughly secured prior to migration.
Licensing
Licensing
Organizations must ensure they are licensed appropriately for their Oracle database and applications stack in the cloud environment. This can be a complex process, particularly if the organization is moving from one licensing model to another.
Downtime
Downtime
Minimizing downtime during the migration process is critical for most organizations. This can be particularly challenging if the Oracle database is large and complex, requiring a significant amount of time to transfer and validate the data.
Performance
Performance
Planning a well performing Oracle database or application stack in a cloud environment can be challenging. One must consider factors such as storage allocation and performance, network latency, and compute resources to ensure that the database can meet the required performance levels.
Cost
Cost
Cloud migration costs of an Oracle environment can be significant, particularly when migrating large and complex environments. It is important to consider all costs associated with the migration, including data transfer, storage, compute, and licensing.
