The Team

The Autonomous Database Team is responsible for building the cloud service framework powering various Oracle Autonomous Database cloud services including Autonomous Transaction Processing (ATP). The framework automates deployment, scaling and management of databases in the cloud. It is built on top of Oracle's Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Layer. The autonomous database cloud service framework features APIs to handle all lifecycle management operations of databases, such as Provisioning, Patching, Upgrades, Scaling, etc.

Oracle Grid Infrastructure is portable cluster software that allows clustering of independent servers so that they cooperate as a single system. Oracle Clusterware also acts as the foundation to run the flagship Oracle RAC Database. Oracle RAC product is at the core of the enterprise grid software such as in the Database machine part of the Exadata family. RAC technology enables the Oracle Database to achieve its highest levels of availability and scalability along with extreme performance. Many of our customers' largest mission-critical online transaction processing (OLTP) systems and data warehouses run on Oracle RAC today.

Managing lifecycle operations on the Oracle RAC Database and Oracle Grid Infrastructure is perhaps one of the most complicated operations, given the dynamic nature of the runtime environment for an Oracle RAC database. Configurations vary across various deployments, major and minor versions vary across targets, patch levels vary, and in addition to these, applications are diverse in nature, with various kinds of jobs and sessions load that also vary over time. Managing patching and upgrades under these conditions without interruptions to end customers is a complex task.

Beyond the complexities of managing a single target as above, the Cloud involves handling an entire fleet of targets comprising of Oracle Grid Infrastructure and Oracle RAC Databases. Fleet handling capability at a large scale represents another layer of complexity beyond the complexities of handling individual targets. Performance, robustness, rollback, resumability, recovery, concise reporting, simplified operator interfaces are essential aspects of handling a Fleet. A few operators must be able to handle an entire fleet of targets.

To meet the above requirements and to take it even beyond, we have built the Fleet Patching and Provisioning(FPP) product, which offers fully-automated end-to-end lifecycle operations across the entire fleet with full capabilities to resume after failures, rollback/revert after failures, customization, parallelization and robustness.

We are also building a Migration Cloud Service, providing a robust, reliable, resumable and automated mechanism to migrate Oracle Databases from customers' On-Prem location to the Oracle Cloud. This product is called ZDM (Zero Downtime Migration of Oracle Database to the Oracle Cloud). This is an evolving and challenging project that has just seen a first version out. There's plenty of upcoming challenges as well, including network connectivity, integration with Cloud components(identity, logging, metering, etc), control path flow mechanisms, data path flow mechanisms, etc.

This is a challenging fast-paced work environment in the Oracle Cloud. We are integrated with various Cloud technologies, and as we move forwarded, the demand to make operations smoother, simpler, faster, reliable and robust is always present. We have been awarded US Patents in our teams, and there is scope for plenty of development, come up with innovative ideas and lead the industry in providing top-rated solutions for the challenges in the Cloud.

Come join us and be a part of this technological leading-edge exciting team.
