Scale ECPUs to Zero

You can now scale ECPUs enabled per VM to zero on ExaDB-XS.

Release Date: January 14

We are pleased to announce general availabilility of a new feature that allows users to scale the Enabled ECPUs of an ExaDB-XS VM Cluster to zero. This ability enables you to temporarily shut down the VM cluster and avoid billing related to usage of Enabled ECPUs while in this shutdown state.

Deploy Single Node VM Clusters

You can deploy and run databases in a single-node cluster without requiring an Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC) license.

Release Date: December 17

We are pleased to announce the general availability (GA) of deploying a VM Cluster running on a single VM for Oracle Exadata Database Service on Exascale Infrastructure (ExaDB-XS). Single VM support allows customers with smaller and lower availability needs the ability to avoid the cost and complexity of having a multi-node RAC cluster, instead having a single VM only, but still all the Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC) software installed and running. VM Clusters can, therefore, be either permanently configured as a single node, or can be scaled back and forth from single node to multiple node VM Cluster configurations depending on workload and availability needs during a period of time.
