Amazon launches RDS for Oracle
- jvehent 15y agoSo it's a single Oracle DB ? No RAC ?
- semiquaver 15y agoRAC requires multicast.
- habeanf 15y agoRAC uses shared disks (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/clustering/overview/twp-rac11gr2-134105.pdf http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/clustering/overvi...) So unless EBS or an EBS-like service will allow the attachment of a volume to multiple instances or Oracle changes how RAC works, there won't be Oracle RAC on AWS.
- euroclydon 15y agoHow long before a YC company starts selling slices of an Oracle DBA in the cloud?
- anonymous246 15y agoI wonder if the AWS-Oracle license prohibits this.
- euroclydon 15y agoI mean DBA, "Database Administrator". I think you mean something different, like a schema, which might be more interesting
- anonymous246 15y agoYes, we were talking about different things.
- riffraff 15y agointerestung that the premium over mysql seems to be 0 in the "bring your own license" mode, and less than 50% when getting the license with the service. So a single "large" resrved instance would only cost 400 dollars more a year.
- anonymous246 15y agoWhy should it be any different? Applying patches is likely the same effort for Oracle as for MySQL. If they hadn't done this, some startup would have tried to feed off the arbitrage.
- narrator 15y agoThe "with license" service only includes Oracle "Standard Edition One" which lacks lots of features. It doesn't have partitioned indexing or RAC for example -- among other missing features.
- jsmcgd 15y agoI'm surprised, I thought Larry Ellison wasn't sure what the cloud was. Has he finally worked out what it is or has he stopped spouting FUD now that he's worked out how to make it work for Oracle?</snark> I think this will prove to be a smart move for them in the long run.
