Getting started with Oracle Autonomous Database@Azure – Pay-As-You-Go | Part 3: Connect via Bastion

If an Autonomous Database (ADB) is deployed in a private subnet and requires access for analysis or troubleshooting, Azure Bastion provides a secure solution. This guide demonstrates how to connect to an Oracle Autonomous Database@Azure via Bastion while using a locally running VS Code as a SQL editor. In this setup, Azure Bastion is already configured, and both the provisioned Autonomous Database and the vNet jump host do not have public IP addresses. All commands are executed on a Windows machine using PowerShell, with the Azure CLI set up according to the official documentation: How to install the Azure CLI | Microsoft Learn.

Getting started with Oracle Autonomous Database@Azure – Pay-As-You-Go | Part 2: Provisioning

In blog post Part 1, I described how to subscribe to the PAYG service to use the Oracle Autonomous Database in Azure. Now it’s time to provision a new ADB. As prerequisites, a resource group, a virtual network and several subnets are created. When provisioning an Autonomous Database on Oracle Database@Azure, it is essential to use a delegated subnet. A delegated subnet is a subnet within a virtual network that is specifically designated for use by a particular service. Using a delegated subnet ensures enhanced security, better network control, simplified management, compliance, and optimized performance, making it an ideal choice for modern database provisioning. Overview This is the entry point, click on Create Autonomous Database. Basics When deploying an Autonomous Database…

Getting started with Oracle Autonomous Database@Azure – Pay-As-You-Go | Part 1: Subscription

In early September, an exciting development was announced on azure.microsoft.com: Oracle Autonomous Database is now available on Azure as a Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) offering. This marks a significant shift from the previous approach, where customers were required to engage with Oracle’s sales team to secure a private offering for Oracle Autonomous Database on Azure. The introduction of the PAYG model means that businesses can now directly access Oracle Autonomous Database as a native Azure resource without the need for extensive sales negotiations or long-term commitments. This streamlined process significantly reduces barriers to entry, making it easier than ever for organizations to leverage the power of Oracle’s Autonomous Database in the Azure cloud ecosystem. While the traditional private offer process is still…
