Oracle Autonomous Database is now available on Oracle Database@Azure
Oracle Autonomous Database is now generally available on Oracle Database@Azure in the Microsoft Azure US East region, second oracle.com. Oracle will operate and manage Oracle Autonomous Database Cloud Service, marking it as the second Oracle database service to run on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) in Azure data centers. This development aims to strengthen application innovation and development speed.
Oracle Autonomous Database on OCI in Microsoft Azure accelerates development speed
With Oracle Autonomous Database running on OCI in Azure data centers, developers can easily provide a leading data platform that accommodates various data or development models for any use case, while minimizing complex integrations. This fully managed option gives application developers access to database services at scale with superior performance, security, and availability.
Oracle Autonomous Database improves development speed with an integrated low-code development platform called Oracle APEX, a suite of data engineering tools called Data Studio, an ML notebook interface for data scientists, and easy access to data lakes. It supports the Apache Iceberg open table format and the Delta Share open data sharing protocol. Developers can use SQL, JSON document, graph, geospatial, text, ML, and vector similarity search from a unified interface to quickly create new solutions and add functionality. Additionally, built-in AI capabilities and the choice of large language models (LLMs) further accelerate application innovation.
Oracle Autonomous Database also offers AI Vector Search, allowing developers to easily integrate vector data with other structured business data in a single SQL query. This integration facilitates deeper, more efficient and agile data analysis and decision-making.
