What is the role of the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)?

The role of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is to provide the foundational services necessary for deploying and managing Oracle Autonomous Database. OCI offers a robust platform that includes compute, storage, networking, and security features, all essential for running cloud-based applications, including databases. This infrastructure supports high performance, scalability, and reliability, which are critical for database operations.

Oracle Autonomous Database relies on the capabilities provided by OCI to ensure efficient and effective deployment. The managed services that OCI offers reduce the complexity of database administration and maintenance, enabling enterprises to focus on their applications rather than the underlying infrastructure. These attributes make OCI a vital element in the provisioning and running of Oracle Autonomous Database, allowing businesses to leverage the cloud for their database needs effectively.
