In this post, we show you how you can use the RMAN XTTS functionality to migrate from an Oracle database hosted on Amazon Elastic Compute CLoud (Amazon EC2) to Amazon RDS for Oracle. Combined with Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) integration, XTTS can help reduce the complexity of your migration strategy, reduce the number and copies of data and backups required (as well as associated storage space consumption), and reduce the application downtime associated with completing the migration of your data.

In this post, I demonstrate how to improve the performance of real-time analytics and mixed workloads without impacting Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) using the Oracle Database In-Memory option for workloads running on Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) for Oracle. The demand for real-time analytics requires analytic queries to be run in real time concurrently […]

In this post, we test Oracle GoldenGate (OGG) bidirectional replication between two Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) for Oracle instances. This can allow mission-critical applications to be highly available across Regions and provide data redundancy and resilience. Active-active replication allows multiple database instances with the same application tables to support read/write operations running independently […]

In this post, we provide a SQL Server Always On cluster database migration pattern solution to Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) Custom for SQL Server using distributed availability groups. This solution helps reduce the migration downtime through continuous data synchronization combined with a failover process. This post is not a high availability and disaster […]

A common trend in modern application development and data processing is the use of Apache Kafka as a standard delivery mechanism for data pipeline and fan-out approach. Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (Amazon MSK) is a fully-managed, highly available, and secure service that makes it simple for developers and DevOps managers to run applications […]

Customers may prefer to host their Oracle database workloads in a managed service such as Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) for Oracle because of the benefits offered by managed services. However, there could be workloads that have dependencies on Oracle features that aren’t supported by Amazon RDS for Oracle. For example, the flashback database […]
