Compute Models in Autonomous Database

Autonomous Database provides the ECPU compute model when you create or clone an instance. The legacy OCPU billing metric has been retired and Oracle recommends using ECPUs for all new and existing Autonomous Database deployments.

  • ECPU: An ECPU is an abstracted measure of compute resources. ECPUs are based on the number of cores elastically allocated from a pool of compute and storage servers.

    While provisioning a new database or cloning an existing database:

    • The CPU count defaults to 2 ECPUs.

    • For databases that need more than 2 ECPUs, you must specify the number of assigned ECPUs as an integer. For example, you cannot assign 3.5 ECPUs to a database. The next available number of ECPUs above 3 is 4.

  • OCPU: An OCPU is a physical measure of compute resources. OCPUs are based on the physical core of a processor with hyper-threading enabled.

    Note

    OCPU is a legacy billing metric and has been retired on Autonomous Database. ECPUs are the replacement billing metric for all new and existing Autonomous Database deployments. See Oracle Support Document 2998742.1 for more information.

See Provision an Autonomous Database Instance and Clone an Autonomous Database Instance for more information.

  • ECPU Compute Model Billing Information
    Provides billing information for Autonomous Transaction Processing, Autonomous Data Warehouse, Autonomous JSON Database, and APEX Service with the ECPU compute model.
  • OCPU Compute Model Billing Information
