Explore Exadata Cloud Service (ExaCS) in OCI, a co-managed offering where Oracle handles infrastructure, while you deploy RAC databases with on-demand scaling, encryption, backups, and VCN connectivity.

Exadata cloud at customer brings Exadata Cloud Service to your data center in a co-managed model, delivering high performance and data sovereignty.

Oracle autonomous database is a cloud-managed, self-driving DB that automates tuning, patching, backups, and security using machine learning, with automatic failover and encryption at rest and in transit.

Accelerate analytics with MySQL heatwave, an in-memory query accelerator integrated into the MySQL database service. It uses a parallel hybrid columnar store for real-time analytics across databases and object storage.

OpenSearch on Oracle Cloud ingests diverse data, enabling near real-time search and analytics with dashboards, via a fully managed cluster. It is open source under the Apache 2.0 license.

Explore the OCI Golden Gate service for real-time data movement across heterogeneous systems, enabling replication between on-premises and cloud regions, and from non Oracle databases with a managed, scalable solution.

Explore Oracle NoSQL Database and its fully managed, scalable NoSQL service that supports JSON documents, key-value and column-family models, with single-digit latency for IoT, mobile, and gaming workloads.

Provision an autonomous database in OCI, selecting workload type, deployment mode, and network access, then monitor provisioning and perform basic tasks like creating users, loading data, and running SQL queries.

Explore oracle cloud infrastructure storage services within the oci foundations associate track, building foundational knowledge for managing storage solutions.

Master block storage in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure by understanding boot and data volumes, persistence, high IOPS, encryption, automatic backups, and cross-region replication, all with tight compute integration.

Explore OCI file storage, a fully managed NFS that scales automatically, provides five-way replicated storage with snapshots and encryption, supports cross-region replication, and integrates with compute and Kubernetes.

Explore Oracle Cloud object storage, an internet-scale public-endpoint service for unstructured data that scales to exabytes for backups, logs, and archives, with immediate consistency, encryption, versioning, and multi-part uploads.

Discover OCI object storage by creating buckets, uploading objects, and configuring encryption with oracle managed keys or vaults, then test access using pre-authenticated requests or public access.

Explore security and compliance within Oracle Cloud, aligned with the OCI Foundations and the 1Z0-1085-25 certification.
