You don't even have to be dynamically provisioning anything, even just standard VMware virtualization is not approved for running Oracle DB. They'll audit you and charge you for every physical CPU core connected in your vSphere cluster. It's total bullshit and their big customers are getting sick of it.
Oracle audits are basically just sales tactics to get you to buy their cloud services so they can turn around and pretend they're a leader in the cloud.

- monocasa 8y agoIt's generally built into the contract. Don't let them audit? Lose all your licenses. A bunch of their stuff phones home too.
