- ams6110 13y agoIt is a good example, but I wonder how licensing would treat it. If I'm running hundreds of unit tests, each against a snapshot of my database, and my database is Oracle, they would likely view that as hundreds of instances which would each need a license.
- travem 13y agoThere are Oracle licensing options to do this per CPU rather than per instance. That is what many people do who run Oracle farms on vSphere do to take advantage of the consolidation to reduce overall license costs.
- olefoo 13y agoUnless your application is tied to Oracle specific extensions you should think about using postgreSQL for your dev and testing environments. They both hew pretty closely to the sql standard; and there are versions ( EnterpriseDB ) that have an explicit Oracle compatibility layer that works. And I bet it feels really good to look the Oracle salesperson in the eye and say, "We've been doing most of our dev work on Postgres lately."

- iso-8859-1 13y agobut aren't Hyper-V instances way more heavyweight?
- pjmlp 13y agoWhen using Hyper-V, Windows works like the good old mainframes virtualization. The hypervisor takes the OS role, and what you see as main OS is actually a guest OS as well, that has control privileges over the other virtualized instances. I never used this type of CI build, so I cannot speak much about the real resource usage.
