DBaaS in a DBAs World

Consulting Member of EM Technical Team
Strategic Customer Program

The following is intended to outline our general product
direction. It is intended for information purposes only, and
may not be incorporated into any contract. It is not a
commitment to deliver any material, code, or functionality,
and should not be relied upon in making purchasing
decisions. The development, release, and timing of any
features or functionality described for Oracle’s products
remains at the sole discretion of Oracle.

Program Agenda
 Why Database as a Service
 What is DBaaS
 Understanding the DBaaS environment
– Infrastructure as a Service
– Platform as a Service
– Database Templates and Profiles

What is DBaaS?
Database as a Service (DBaaS) is an architectural and operational
approach enabling DBAs to deliver database functionality as a
service to internal and/or external customers
Including:
 Customer side provisioning and management of database
instances available to the customer via a self-service portal.
 Automation of many manual tasks that remove the DBA from work
to provide more value to the business and to the DBA.
 Added features such as automated schema refresh, “Snapclone”
features and chargeback for cloud environments.

It Can’t Possibly Happen…

Why DBaaS?
DBaaS standardizes and optimizes the platform
requirements which eliminates the need to
deploy, manage and support dedicated
database hardware and software for each
project’s multiple
development, testing, production, and failover
environments.

DBaaS Architecture
 DBaaS architecture is inherently designed for elasticity and resource
pooling. They deliver production and non-production database services
that support average daily workload requirements and are not impacted
by:
 Resource Limitations
 Time Sensitive Projects
 Hardware limitations/budgets

The Time is Now
"Database as a Service (DBaaS) is arguably the next big thing in IT. Indeed, we
project an astounding 86% cumulative annual growth rate, with annual revenues from
DBaaS providers rising from $150 million in 2012 to $1.8 billion by 2016.” -

Embracing DBaaS as a DBA
The Great DBA…
• Automates everything
• Desires new learning opportunities
• Desires a secure, controlled setup for a self-service portal
• Approaches challenges and answers with simple, robust
options to answer.
• Needs a feature set that supports various platforms.
DBaaS OFFERS THIS!..

Services Options in DBaaS

Summary of Moving Parts
 How much do you already use in
your everyday DBA work
 How can this be used to create a
new and better way to automate
resource allocation so the DBA can
do more with less?

How Much You Can Do With DBaaS
 Schema as a Service, (SaaS)
 New Optimizations with Real Application Testing
 Ability to add data-masking
 Ability to automate preliminary and post scripting options.
 Full-feature chargeback scenarios

Schema as a Service
Need a schema refresh?
Need a copy of a schema, no data?
All of this can be requested with the creation of a
template made available to the self-service portal!

The Self Service Portal

Self Service Storage Use
33
• Storage Allocated
• Memory Used of Total Allocated
• Databases Allocated
• Schemas Allocated
All in easy to scan dashboard in
main page.

Submitting a Request

Completed Request, Ready to Submit
 Request a copy of a database?
 A simple request via a DBaaS profile and template with the EM12c and
Database as a Service!

• Scan forward, backwards in
Snapshot view.
• Choose what snapshot you
wish to restore, click on
restore or remove from
environment.

Space Hogs
 Data Resource Consumption
 Traditional Cloning Methods vs. Snapclone
 DBAs no longer the ones requesting storage so often.

Licensing
50
There are licenses that are required as part of the DBaaS as a service
product.
• Cloud Management Pack for Database
• Database lifecycle Management Pack
• Storage Licenses
• Depending on what storage that you choose to house your DBaaS
storage pools/IZone will decide what licensing will be required.
• Oracle Database 12c Multi-Tenant Option
• If you are using PDB DBaaS, (Pluggable Database, and Database as
a Service) then you will need to license the pluggable databases.
• Your Oracle Sales representative can offer the most up to date information
on licensing and pricing.

Plug-ins
 Oracle Consolidation Planning and Chargeback(oracle.sysman.emct)
 Oracle Storage Management Framework(oracle.sysman.smf)
 Oracle Cloud Application(oracle.sysman.ssa)
 Oracle Vitualization(oracle.sysman.vt)
 Oracle Exadata(oracle.sysman.xa)
 Oracle Database Pluggable DB(oracle.sysman.db)
51

Database Cloud
From the Middleware and
Database Cloud Home:
• Create PaaS Infrastracture
Zone to use IaaS

Rapid Start Kit
 The DBaaS Rapid Start Kit simplifies the
creation steps for the database
pools, zones, service templates and self-service
users.
 The Rapid Start Kit consists of a set of Python
scripts which call EMCLI commands and a setup
of XML config files.
 The kit includes a complete solution for setting
up an Out of the box DBaaS platform and allows
administrators to integrate their DBaaS setup
with scripts and third-party solutions with ease.

Manual Design of Storage, (PaaS/IaaS)
1. Registering Storage
2. Creating the Platform as a Service, (PaaS)
3. Utilizing PaaS to create the PaaS Infrastructure Zone, (I Zone)
4. Rapid Start, (aka, Zero to Cloud) is recommended to use instead.

EM12c- Setup Menu

Step 1- Register Storage

Storage Registration

Settings for Storage
• Setting up IaaS Storage
• Allocate amount of space required for DBaaS environment

Self Service Portal Settings

Database Profile- Control is in Your Hands

Request Settings

Quotas for Requestor
Quotas dictates how many resources overall a user of the Self Service Portal has.
Allocated by Role and assigned to user-
• Memory
• Storage
• CPU
• How many Databases at a given time
• How many schemas

DBA Controls Quotas
Quotas can be edited at any time and set to
any configuration.

A Closer Look- DBaaS Catalog

A Closer Looks- Templates

Control of Template Resources
 Set Parameters
 Turn on Auditing
 Configure values for memory, recovery and undo
 Decide if the SSA Admin has ability to edit values

Custom Script Option
Run Custom scripts as part of templates
*This is also part of Schema as a Service

EM12c- Enterprise Menu

Chargebacks
Chargebacks allows Information
Operations to charge for IT resources
utilized by a consumer.

Plans for Chargebacks

Monitoring Chargebacks
 Monitoring Dashboard for the Cloud Administrator
 Charge Plan Setup

Cloud Administrator’s Interface
 The DBA or “Cloud Administrator” is offered a robust and clean
view of DBaaS resource usage as part of EM12c.

The Future
 Using VMs from third party vendors, create
large, private clouds for use with DBaaS.
 Simplify Development, Test, QA requests for
database refreshes, new environments
 Simplify cloning procedures for any environment
 Supply afterhours support and maintenance
automation.
