Vasu Balla presented on running Oracle E-Business Suite on Oracle Cloud. Key points include: 1) EBS deployment on Oracle Cloud consists of middleware and database tiers running on Oracle Compute Cloud and Database Cloud Service/Exadata Cloud Service. 2) Deployment approaches include new implementations using marketplace images, and lift and shift of existing on-premises instances using remote cloning utilities and an EBS provisioning tool. 3) There are limitations around maximum database size, cloning automation, and disaster recovery that require further enhancements.

Topology Options

13. April 2-6, 2017 in Las Vegas, NV USA #C17LV
Deployment Approach
• New implementation or Upgrade
• Use the Vision or Fresh Install Images from Marketplace
• Lift and Shift
• Use EBS Provisioning Server to deploy
• DB on Compute/DBCS/EXCS
• RAC option only available with DbCS/ExCS
• MT on Compute
• Oracle Traffic Director ( Load balancer ) on compute
• Add additional MTs

14. April 2-6, 2017 in Las Vegas, NV USA #C17LV
Lift n Shift
Remote Clone Utility
• Delivered via patch 22336899
• Does hot backup of DB & Apps
• Can push the backup to Oracle Storage Cloud Service
• Or Stage Directory on Provisioning Server
• Configuration File – cln.props
• Invoked using “perl ebsclone.pl”

15. April 2-6, 2017 in Las Vegas, NV USA #C17LV
Lift n Shift
Provision Tool
• Invoked using “perl ProvisionEBS.pl’
• Can deploy Fresh/Vision Instance using prebuilt oracle Images
to Compute + DBcS
• Can deploy Backup taken using RemoteClone Utility to
Compute + DBcS
• As a post step, One off DB Patches need to applied manually
• Manage Deployed Instances
• Add Node, Delete, Backup
• Workflow, OAM, SOA Integration
• Can add Stage Dir on Provisioning VM

16. April 2-6, 2017 in Las Vegas, NV USA #C17LV
Licensing
• If you deploy EBS DB on Compute
• can use your existing EBS licenses
• Bring your own license (BYOL) model
• Just pay for used compute resources only
• If DB is deployed on DBCS or EXCS
• Can not use your existing licenses
• Need to pay for DBCS/EXCS resources used

17. April 2-6, 2017 in Las Vegas, NV USA #C17LV
Limitations
• Max Database size 12TB with cloud backup option
• Max Database size 4.6TB with local backup option(FRA)
• Need to use EXCS for larger databases
• Cloning Automation still in roadmap
• DR/Failover automation still in roadmap
• Automated patching requires EM13c with AMP
