Autonomous Database Components
- About Exadata Infrastructure
The Exadata Infrastructure (EI) resource represents the Exadata Database Machine system, together with the networking configuration that connects it to Oracle Cloud. It hosts the underlying components Autonomous VM Clusters, Autonomous Container Databases, and Autonomous Databases. - About Autonomous Exadata VM Cluster
Autonomous VM Clusters (AVMCs) allow a physical Exadata Cluster (Machine) to be partitioned into multiple virtual clusters. They can be used to isolate environments for different database workloads through separate access rules, network configurations, as well as customizable compute memory, and storage resources. - About Autonomous Container Database
Autonomous Container Database (ACD) is one of the four components of the four-level database architecture model, which is the foundation for an Autonomous Database on Dedicated Exadata Infrastructure. ACDs are provisioned inside an Autonomous Exadata VM Cluster (AVMC) and serve as containers for one or more Autonomous Databases. - About Autonomous Database
Oracle Autonomous Database on Dedicated Exadata Infrastructure is a highly automated, fully managed database environment running in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) with committed hardware and software resources. These isolated resources enable organizations to meet stringent security, availability, and performance requirements while reducing cost and complexity. Autonomous Databases are provisioned inside an Autonomous Container Database (ACD) and are user databases. You can create many Autonomous Databases in a single Autonomous Container Database resource.
