1z0-1085-23 Practice Exam Questions with Answers Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2023 Foundations Associate Certification

A shape is a template that determines the number of CPUs, amount of memory, and other resources that are allocated to an instance.

The network bandwidth is directly proportional to the number of OCPUs in the instance shape!

Round robin is a type of load balancing policy supported by Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Load Balancer. Round robin distributes incoming traffic evenly across all healthy backend servers in a backend set. Round robin ensures that each server receives an equal number of requests over time.

Network File System (NFS) is the file protocol that Oracle Cloud Infrastructure File Storage Service uses to enable file sharing across instances. NFS is a distributed file system protocol that allows a user on a client computer to access files over a network in a manner similar to how local storage is accessed. The File Storage service supports the NFS version 3.0 protocol with Network Lock Manager (NLM) for file locking functionality2.

Enter your contact information.

Enter a Description, and then enter the required fields specific to your issue. For most Oracle Cloud Infrastructure issues you need to include the OCID (Oracle Cloud Identifier) for each resource you need help with. See Locating Oracle Cloud Infrastructure IDs for instructions on locating these.

Autoscaling is an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) compute feature that automatically adjusts the number of compute instances in an instance pool based on performance metrics such as CPU utilization. Autoscaling can help you match capacity to demand, while keeping the application up and running, and also saving cost. You can configure autoscaling policies to scale up or down the instance pool based on predefined thresholds or schedules

Oracle Container Engine for Kubernetes (OKE) is an OCI service that supports the development and deployment of docker-based applications on OCI. OKE is a fully-managed, scalable, and highly available service that runs Kubernetes clusters on OCI. OKE allows you to create, manage, and scale Kubernetes clusters using the OCI Console, CLI, or API. You can use OKE to orchestrate the deployment, scaling, and management of your containerized applications across multiple nodes and availability domains. OKE integrates with other OCI services such as Compute, Networking, Load Balancing, Block Volume, Object Storage, Registry, and Monitoring1

Streaming, Oracle Cloud VMware Solution, and API Gateway are not OCI services that support the development and deployment of docker-based applications on OCI.

Streaming is an OCI service that provides a fully managed, scalable, and durable platform for ingesting, storing, and consuming continuous, high-volume streams of data. Streaming is based on Apache Kafka and can be used for real-time data processing, analytics, and event-driven applications2

Oracle Cloud VMware Solution is an OCI service that provides a customer-managed, native VMware-based cloud environment that is installed within a customer’s tenancy. Oracle Cloud VMware Solution allows customers to use the same VMware tools and skills to manage and run their infrastructure in the cloud without compromise. Customers can migrate or extend their on-premises VMware workloads to OCI with minimal changes3

API Gateway is an OCI service that enables developers to create, manage, and secure APIs for their back-end services. API Gateway acts as a single point of entry for clients to access defined back-end services hosted on OCI or other locations. API Gateway supports RESTful and HTTP-based APIs, as well as API lifecycle management features such as authentication, authorization, throttling, caching, logging, and monitoring4

It is collection of related resources. Compartments are a fundamental component of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure for organizing and isolating your cloud resources. You use them to clearly separate resources for the purposes of measuring usage and billing, access (through the use of IAM Service policies), and isolation (separating the resources for one project or business unit from another). A common approach is to create a compartment for each major part of your organization. For more information, see Overview of the IAM Service and also Setting Up Your Tenancy.

To place a resource in a compartment, simply specify the compartment ID in the "Create" request object when initially creating the resource. For example, to launch an instance into a particular compartment, specify that compartment's OCID in the LaunchInstance request. You can't move an existing resource from one compartment to another.

To use any of the API operations, you must be authorized in an IAM policy. If you're not authorized, talk to an administrator. If you're an administrator who needs to write policies to give users access, see Getting Started with Policies.

Oracle Database Service for Azure is not designed for a multicloud solution. It is a service that allows customers to run Oracle Database on Azure infrastructure, using the same license they have for Oracle Database on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure3

Oracle Functions is a fully managed, multi-tenant, highly scalable, on-demand, Functions-as-a-Service platform. It is built on enterprise-grade Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and powered by the Fn Project open source engine. Use Oracle Functions (sometimes abbreviated to just Functions) when you want to focus on writing code to meet business needs.

The serverless and elastic architecture of Oracle Functions means there's no infrastructure administration or software administration for you to perform. You don't provision or maintain compute instances, and operating system software patches and upgrades are applied automatically. Oracle Functions simply ensures your app is highly-available, scalable, secure, and monitored. With Oracle Functions, you can write code in Java, Python, Node, Go, and Ruby (and for advanced use cases, bring your own Dockerfile, and Graal VM). You can then deploy your code, call it directly or trigger it in response to events, and get billed only for the resources consumed during the execution.

Horizontal scaling means that you scale by adding more machines into your pool of resources whereas Vertical scaling means that you scale by adding more power (CPU, RAM) to an existing machine.

An easy way to remember this is to think of a machine on a server rack, we add more machines across the horizontal direction and add more resources to a machine in the vertical direction.

With horizontal-scaling it is often easier to scale dynamically by adding more machines into the existing pool — Vertical-scaling is often limited to the capacity of a single machine, scaling beyond that capacity often involves downtime and comes with an upper limit.

Object Lifecycle Management is the OCI Object Storage feature that can be used for the purpose of deleting any previous object versions 120 days after the object version transitions from the latest version to a previous version. Object Lifecycle Management allows you to create rules to automatically manage the deletion or archival of objects in a bucket based on predefined criteria, such as time, size, or name. You can use Object Lifecycle Management to reduce your storage costs and optimize your data management3

To achieve the desired outcome, you can create an Object Lifecycle Management rule that applies to all previous object versions in a bucket and specifies an age-based time rule that deletes objects 120 days after they become noncurrent versions. This rule will automatically delete any previous object versions that are older than 120 days from the date they were replaced by newer versions4

The other features are not suitable for this purpose. Pre-Authenticated Requests are a way to grant temporary access to your Object Storage resources without requiring users to have an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure identity. Pre-Authenticated Requests allow you to create URLs that can be used to access buckets or objects for a limited time period5 Retention Rules are a way to prevent objects from being deleted or overwritten for a specified period of time. Retention Rules allow you to create policies that enforce minimum retention durations for objects in a bucket or with specific prefixes. Retention Rules help you comply with regulatory or business requirements for data preservation6 Multipart Uploads are a way to upload large objects in parts rather than as a single operation. Multipart Uploads allow you to resume uploads, improve performance, and increase reliability for uploading large objects. Multipart Uploads help you overcome network or service disruptions during uploads7

When you create an instance, the instance is automatically attached to a virtual network interface card (VNIC) in the cloud network's subnet and given a private IP address from the subnet's CIDR. You can let the IP address be automatically assigned, or you can specify a particular address of your choice. The private IP address lets instances within the cloud network communicate with each other.

You can think of a Dynamic Routing Gateway (DRG) as a virtual router that provides a path for private traffic (that is, traffic that uses private IPv4 addresses) between your VCN and networks outside the VCN's region.

For example, if you use an IPSec VPN or Oracle Cloud Infrastructure FastConnect (or both) to connect your on-premises network to your VCN, that private IPv4 address traffic goes through a DRG that you create and attach to your VCN. For scenarios for using a DRG to connect a VCN to your on-premises network, see Networking Scenarios. For important details about routing to your on-premises network, see Routing Details for Connections to Your On-Premises Network.

Also, if you decide to peer your VCN with a VCN in another region, your VCN's DRG routes traffic to the other VCN over a private backbone that connects the regions (without traffic traversing the internet). For information about connecting VCNs in different regions, see Remote VCN Peering (Across Regions).

In OCI a budget can be used to set soft limits on your Oracle Cloud Infrastructure spending. You can set alerts on your budget to let you know when you might exceed your budget, and you can view all of your budgets and spending from one single place in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure console.

Budgets are set on

· Cost-tracking tags

· Compartments (including the root compartment)

A service gateway is the component of the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Networking service that allows resources in a VCN to access Oracle Cloud Services without traversing the public internet. A service gateway provides a secure and private connection between a VCN and supported Oracle services, such as Object Storage, Autonomous Database, or Functions.

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Container Engine for Kubernetes is a fully-managed, scalable, and highly available service that you can use to deploy your containerized applications to the cloud. Use Container Engine for Kubernetes (sometimes abbreviated to just OKE) when your development team wants to reliably build, deploy, and manage cloud-native applications. You specify the compute resources that your applications require, and Container Engine for Kubernetes provisions them on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure in an existing OCI tenancy.

You can access Container Engine for Kubernetes to define and create Kubernetes clusters using the Console and the REST API. You can access the clusters you create using the Kubernetes command line (kubectl), the Kubernetes Dashboard, and the Kubernetes API.

Container Engine for Kubernetes is integrated with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Identity and Access Management (IAM), which provides easy authentication with native Oracle Cloud Infrastructure identity functionality.

Oracle Data Safe is a unified control center for your Oracle databases which helps you understand the sensitivity of your data, evaluate risks to data, mask sensitive data, implement and monitor security controls, assess user security, monitor user activity, and address data security compliance requirements.

Whether you’re using an Autonomous Database or an Oracle DB system, Oracle Data Safe delivers essential data security capabilities as a service on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.

Features of Oracle Data Safe:

Oracle Data Safe provides the following set of features for protecting sensitive and regulated data in Oracle Cloud databases, all in a single, easy-to-use management console:

1) Security Assessment helps you assess the security of your cloud database configurations. It analyzes database configurations, user accounts, and security controls, and then reports the findings with recommendations for remediation activities that follow best practices to reduce or mitigate risk.

2) User Assessment helps you assess the security of your database users and identify high risk users. It reviews information about your users in the data dictionary on your target databases, and calculates a risk score for each user. For example, it evaluates the user types, how users are authenticated, the password policies assigned to each user, and how long it has been since each user has changed their password. It also provides a direct link to audit records related to each user. With this information, you can then deploy appropriate security controls and policies.

3) Data Discovery helps you find sensitive data in your cloud databases. You tell Data Discovery what kind of sensitive data to search for, and it inspects the actual data in your database and its data dictionary, and then returns to you a list of sensitive columns. By default, Data Discovery can search for a wide variety of sensitive data pertaining to identification, biographic, IT, financial, healthcare, employment, and academic information.

4) Data Masking provides a way for you to mask sensitive data so that the data is safe for non-production purposes. For example, organizations often need to create copies of their production data to support development and test activities. Simply copying the production data exposes sensitive data to new users. To avoid a security risk, you can use Data Masking to replace the sensitive data with realistic, but fictitious data.

5) Activity Auditing lets you audit user activity on your databases so you can monitor database usage and be alerted of unusual database activities.

Oracle Autonomous Database on Shared Exadata Infrastructure is optimized for transaction processing, data warehousing, and mixed workloads. It is not optimized for high-performance computing, which typically requires specialized hardware and software4

NVMe stands for non-volatile memory express. It is a storage protocol created to fasten the transfer of data between enterprise and client systems and solid-state drives (SSDs) over a computer’s high-speed Peripheral Component Interconnect Express bus. The characteristics are:

1) Local NVMe is NVMe SSD-based temporary storage.

2) It is the locally-attached NVMe devices to the OCI compute instance

3) It is used very high storage performance requirements, lots of throughput, lots of IOPS, local storage and when you don’t want to go out on network

4) Oracle does not protect in any way through RAID, or snapshots, or backup out of the box and data is not encrypted at rest.

A fault domain is a grouping of hardware and infrastructure within an availability domain. Each availability domain contains three fault domains. Fault domains provide anti-affinity: they let you distribute your instances so that the instances are not on the same physical hardware within a single availability domain. A hardware failure or Compute hardware maintenance event that affects one fault domain does not affect instances in other fault domains. In addition, the physical hardware in a fault domain has independent and redundant power supplies, which prevents a failure in the power supply hardware within one fault domain from affecting other fault domains.

Usually fault domains to do the following things:

1) Protect against unexpected hardware failures or power supply failures.

2) Protect against planned outages because of Compute hardware maintenance.

In Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, you can set up email alerts to receive notifications when budget thresholds are reached. Email alerts are sent to users who are subscribed to a budget alert rule, which specifies the percentage or amount of budget consumption that triggers the alert. Email alerts help users monitor and control their cloud spending.

Nano instance is not a type of instance offered by the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Compute service. The types of instances offered by the Compute service are bare metal, virtual machine, dedicated virtual machine host, and flexible virtual machine host. A nano instance is a type of instance offered by AWS EC2 service that provides a small amount of consistent CPU resources and allows users to increase CPU capacity in short bursts when additional cycles are available.

A NAT gateway gives cloud resources without public IP addresses access to the internet without exposing those resources to incoming internet connections.

Users are not a component of the OCI Identity domains, but rather a resource within an identity domain. An identity domain is a container for managing users and roles, federating and provisioning of users, secure application integration through Oracle Single Sign-On (SSO) configuration, and SAML/OAuth based Identity Provider administration1.

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a global set of security standard designed to encourage and enhance cardholder data security and promote the adoption of consistent data security measures around the technical and operational components related to cardholder data.

Oracle has successfully completed a Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) audit and received an Attestation of Compliance (AoC) covering several Oracle Cloud Infrastructure services and the Oracle RightNow Service Cloud Service. As a PCI Level 1 Service Provider, customers can now use these services for workloads that store, process or transmit cardholder data.

Archive storage is the storage tier in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage service that is designed for rarely accessed data that can be restored within hours. Archive storage is the lowest-cost storage tier that offers durable and secure long-term data retention. Archive storage is suitable for data that is accessed less than once a year, such as compliance records, historical data, or backups.

Creating a manual cluster of compute instances, and Writing custom scripts that will monitor your solution are not valid ways to ensure fault tolerance at all. Also, Performing Data Integrity check when using OCI File Storage Service is not valid since OCI takes care of it.

Therefore, we are left with:

1) Using multiple OCI Availibility Domains (AD), where available, to deploy your solution - Which is excellent because we have multiple AD's so that if one fails, we have a backup AD!

2) Ensuring your solution components are distributed across OCI Fault Domains - So that we can protect our deployment against unexpected power failures, AD failure etc.

A key benefit of using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Autonomous Database is that it reduces database management overhead by automating tasks such as provisioning, patching, tuning, backup, recovery, and scaling. This allows customers to focus on their core business rather than database administration6

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure offers best-in-class security technology and operational processes to secure its enterprise cloud services. However, for you to securely run your workloads in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, you must be aware of your security and compliance responsibilities. By design, Oracle provides security of cloud infrastructure and operations (cloud operator access controls, infrastructure security patching, and so on), and you are responsible for securely configuring your cloud resources. Security in the cloud is a shared responsibility between you and Oracle.

In a shared, multi-tenant compute environment, Oracle is responsible for the security of the underlying cloud infrastructure (such as data-center facilities, and hardware and software systems) and you are responsible for securing your workloads and configuring your services (such as compute, network, storage, and database) securely.

In a fully isolated, single-tenant, bare metal server with no Oracle software on it, your responsibility increases as you bring the entire software stack (operating systems and above) on which you deploy your applications. In this environment, you are responsible for securing your workloads, and configuring your services (compute, network, storage, database) securely, and ensuring that the software components that you run on the bare metal servers are configured, deployed, and managed securely.

More specifically, your and Oracle's responsibilities can be divided into the following areas:

Identity and Access Management (IAM): As with all Oracle cloud services, you should protect your cloud access credentials and set up individual user accounts. You are responsible for managing and reviewing access for your own employee accounts and for all activities that occur under your tenancy. Oracle is responsible for providing effective IAM services such as identity management, authentication, authorization, and auditing.

Workload Security: You are responsible for protecting and securing the operating system and application layers of your compute instances from attacks and compromises. This protection includes patching applications and operating systems, operating system configuration, and protection against malware and network attacks. Oracle is responsible for providing secure images that are hardened and have the latest patches. Also, Oracle makes it simple for you to bring the same third-party security solutions that you use today.

Data Classification and Compliance: You are responsible for correctly classifying and labeling your data and meeting any compliance obligations. Also, you are responsible for auditing your solutions to ensure that they meet your compliance obligations.

Host Infrastructure Security: You are responsible for securely configuring and managing your compute (virtual hosts, containers), storage (object, local storage, block volumes), and platform (database configuration) services. Oracle has a shared responsibility with you to ensure that the service is optimally configured and secured. This responsibility includes hypervisor security and the configuration of the permissions and network access controls required to ensure that hosts can communicate correctly and that devices are able to attach or mount the correct storage devices.

Network Security: You are responsible for securely configuring network elements such as virtual networking, load balancing, DNS, and gateways. Oracle is responsible for providing a secure network infrastructure.

Client and Endpoint Protection: Your enterprise uses various hardware and software systems, such as mobile devices and browsers, to access your cloud resources. You are responsible for securing all clients and endpoints that you allow to access Oracle Cloud Infrastructure services.

Physical Security: Oracle is responsible for protecting the global infrastructure that runs all of the services offered in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. This infrastructure consists of the hardware, software, networking, and facilities that run Oracle Cloud Infrastructure services.

Live migration is the feature in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Compute service that enables users to migrate running instances between different physical servers. Live migration allows users to move instances without interrupting their workloads or affecting their availability.

When you sign up for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, Oracle creates a tenancy for you in one region. This is your home region. Your home region is where your IAM resources are defined. When you subscribe to another region, your IAM resources are available in the new region, however, the master definitions reside in your home region and can only be changed there.

When you subscribe your tenancy to a new region, all the policies from your home region are enforced in the new region. If you want to limit access for groups of users to specific regions, you can write policies to grant access to specific regions only.

OCI Logging service is a highly scalable and fully managed service that allows you to access logs from OCI resources. OCI Logging allows three kinds of logs: Audit, service, and custom logs. You can find more details for each of these logs in the documentation3

OCI Logging service is a centralized single pane of glass for all logs in a tenancy. You can view and search logs on the Logging Search page. When searching logs, you can correlate across many logs simultaneously. For example, you can view results from multiple logs, multiple log groups, or even an entire compartment with one query3

OCI Logging service can index, enrich, and aggregate log data from application. Custom logs are logs that contain diagnostic information from custom applications, other cloud providers, or an on-premises environment. Custom logs can be ingested through the API, or by configuring the Unified Monitoring Agent. You can configure an OCI compute instance/resource to directly upload Custom Logs through the Unified Monitoring Agent. Custom logs are supported in both a virtual machine and bare metal scenario3

OCI Logging service can analyze critical diagnostic information that describes how resources are performing and being accessed. These logs include audit logs related to events emitted by the OCI Audit service, such as API calls or console actions performed by users or services in your tenancy; service logs emitted by OCI native services, such as API Gateway, Events, Functions, Load Balancer, Object Storage, and VCN Flow Logs; and custom logs from your own applications or sources3

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Web Application Firewall (WAF) is a cloud-based, Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliant, global security service that protects applications from malicious and unwanted internet traffic. WAF can protect any internet facing endpoint, providing consistent rule enforcement across a customer's applications.

WAF provides you with the ability to create and manage rules for internet threats including Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), SQL Injection and other OWASP-defined vulnerabilities. Unwanted bots can be mitigated while tactically allowed desirable bots to enter. Access rules can limit based on geography or the signature of the request.

The primary purpose of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Functions is to execute code in response to events or HTTP requests. Functions is a fully managed, serverless platform that allows users to deploy and run code without provisioning or managing any infrastructure. Functions can be triggered by various sources, such as object storage, streaming, API gateway, or other cloud services.

Resource Manager is an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure service that allows you to automate the process of provisioning your Oracle Cloud Infrastructure resources. Using Terraform, Resource Manager helps you install, configure, and manage resources through the "infrastructure-as-code" model.

A Terraform configuration codifies your infrastructure in declarative configuration files. Resource Manager allows you to share and manage infrastructure configurations and state files across multiple teams and platforms. This infrastructure management can't be done with local Terraform installations and Oracle Terraform modules alone. For more information about the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Terraform provider, see Terraform Provider. For a general introduction to Terraform and the "infrastructure-as-code" model, see https://www.terraform.io .

IAM Group is A collection of users who all need the same type of access to a particular set of resources or compartment.

IAM DYNAMIC GROUP is A special type of group that contains resources (such as compute instances) that match rules that you define (thus the membership can change dynamically as matching resources are created or deleted). These instances act as "principal" actors and can make API calls to services according to policies that you write for the dynamic group.

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Archive Storage is the lowest pricing for storage (per GB)

There are 2 types of DB systems on virtual machines:

A 1-node VM DB system consists of one VM.

A 2-node VM DB system consists of two VMs clustered with RAC enabled.

When you work with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, one of the first steps is to set up a virtual cloud network (VCN) for your cloud resources.

VIRTUAL CLOUD NETWORK (VCN) :

A virtual, private network that you set up in Oracle data centers. It closely resembles a traditional network, with firewall rules and specific types of communication gateways that you can choose to use. A VCN resides in a single Oracle Cloud Infrastructure region and covers a single, contiguous IPv4 CIDR block of your choice. See Allowed VCN Size and Address Ranges. The terms virtual cloud network, VCN, and cloud network are used interchangeably in this documentation. For more information, see VCNs and Subnets.

SUBNETS :

Subdivisions you define in a VCN (for example, 10.0.0.0/24 and 10.0.1.0/24). Subnets contain virtual network interface cards (VNICs), which attach to instances. Each subnet consists of a contiguous range of IP addresses that do not overlap with other subnets in the VCN. You can designate a subnet to exist either in a single availability domainavailability domain

or across an entire region (regional subnets are recommended). Subnets act as a unit of configuration within the VCN: All VNICs in a given subnet use the same route table, security lists, and DHCP options (see the definitions that follow). You can designate a subnet as either public or private when you create it. Private means VNICs in the subnet can't have public IP addresses. Public means VNICs in the subnet can have public IP addresses at your discretion. See Access to the Internet.

The following are capabilities of the OCI Data Catalog service:

• It provides a repository of searchable metadata. Data Catalog harvests metadata from data sources across the OCI ecosystem and on-premises to create an inventory of data assets. This helps data consumers easily find the data they need for analytics4.
• It enables enrichment of the metadata. Data Catalog allows users to add business metadata such as business terms, tags, custom properties, and annotations to data assets. This helps provide more insight and context into the data5.
• It can automate harvesting of data. Data Catalog supports on-demand or schedule-based automatic harvesting to ensure the data catalog always has up-to-date information4.

The primary goal of the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure shared security model is to ensure a comprehensive security posture by dividing security responsibilities between Oracle and the customer. Security in the cloud is a shared responsibility between you and Oracle. Whereas Oracle ensures the security of cloud infrastructure and operations, your organization must define its own security guidelines. The shared security model helps you understand which security tasks are handled by Oracle and which tasks you must perform3.

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Key Management is a managed service that enables you to encrypt your data using keys that you control.

Block storage is the primary type of storage used for storing the boot volume of an instance in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Compute service. A boot volume is a detachable block storage device that contains the operating system and other software required to boot an instance.

The available purchase models are:

Pay As You Go (PAYG):Billed in arrears based on consumption. Recommended for organizations who are trying new services, rapid prototyping, or for elastic scaling.

Monthly Flex:Billed in advance with a 12-month minimum. Use monthly or forfeit that month’s credits.Recommended for customers with predictable production workloads or large long-running applications, such as HR, payroll, analytics, and more.Monthly Flex maximizes cost reduction with predictable monthly spend, similar to your monthly phone plan. Delivers faster time to market by offering customers the choice of using any IaaS and PaaS services.

Oracle’s current PaaS offering is “license-included PaaS.” It includes:

· Compute and compute support

· Automation

· License entitlement and license support

Bring your own license

BYOL stands for “bring your own license.” Previously, you could bring your own licenses to Oracle IaaS, but to get the benefits of PaaS automation, you couldn’t leverage existing licenses. This has been changed. We’re offering Oracle BYOL to PaaS, enabling our customers to leverage their investment in existing on-premises licenses in their journey to the cloud.

Oracle BYOL to PaaS includes:

· Compute and compute support

· Automation

· Customers bring their on-premises license entitlement and get license support via their existing on-premises support contract.

· As customers leverage their existing on-premises license entitlement, they can move to the cloud at a lower cost.
