Learn to provision, manage, and migrate Oracle databases on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

This course is designed for Oracle Database Administrators who want to extend their on-premises DBA skills to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) and manage Oracle databases in cloud environments with confidence.

No prior Oracle Cloud experience is required. The course starts by introducing cloud computing concepts and OCI fundamentals, then gradually guides you step by step into managing Oracle databases on the cloud.

You will gain both solid conceptual understanding and hands-on practical experience working with Oracle VM DB Systems, which represent Oracle’s co-managed database services on OCI.

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

• Provision Oracle VM DB Systems on OCI

• Manage Oracle databases running on DB Systems, including:

  • Connectivity and access

  • Backup and recovery

  • Enabling and managing Oracle Data Guard

  • Patching DB Systems

  • Upgrading Oracle databases

• Migrate on-premises Oracle databases to DB Systems on OCI

Each concept is followed by practical exercises, supported by video demonstrations and downloadable practice materials. You will build a practice environment that closely resembles real production systems, allowing you to apply what you learn immediately.

The course covers all essential topics related to Oracle DB Systems on OCI, including:

• Oracle Database cloud service offerings

• Launching Oracle databases on VM DB Systems

• Managing DB Systems using dbcli

• Performing patching and upgrades

• Implementing backup, recovery, and Data Guard
