Exadata Database on Dedicated Infrastructure: Key Management Service for Cross Region Data Guard

You can now have the encryption keys used for the primary and standby databases to be available in the primary and standby regions respectively so that it provides protection against a single point of failure for the OCI Vault key. This is possible if the keys are in OCI Virtual Private Vault. So, a cross-region Data Guard can be set up between two databases if their keys are residing in a virtual private vault (VPV) and are managed by the OCI Vault service.
