Update to ECPU Billing Model on Autonomous Database

Describes how to update an Autonomous Database instance from the OCPU billing model to the ECPU billing model.
Note

If you update an Autonomous Database instance to use the ECPU compute model, you cannot revert back to the OCPU compute model.

See Compute Models in Autonomous Database for details on the Autonomous Database compute models.

Perform the following prerequisite steps as necessary:

  • Open the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console by clicking the navigation icon next to Oracle Cloud.

  • From the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure left navigation menu click Oracle Database and then, depending on your workload click one of: Autonomous Data Warehouse, Autonomous JSON Database, or Autonomous Transaction Processing.

  • On the Autonomous Databases page select an Autonomous Database from the links under the Display name column.

To update to the ECPU compute model:

  1. On the Details page, under Resource allocation, in the OCPU count field click Update to ECPU model.

  2. In the Update billing model area.
    • Compute: For the compute options ECPU count and Compute auto scaling, the values are read only and you must accept the defaults. You can change the values after you update to ECPU billing model.

      See Use Auto Scaling for more information.

    • Backup retention: The default backup retention is 60 days.

      To change the default specify a value for Automatic backup retention period in days.

      See Edit Automatic Backup Retention Period on Autonomous Database for more information.

  3. Click Save changes.

While the system applies the changes, the lifecycle state changes to Updating.

When the operation completes the lifecycle state shows Available and on the details page under Resource allocation, the fields show ECPU count and Compute auto scaling.
