Resource Management in Oracle Cloud Databases
Oracle Database Resource Manager provides end-to-end management of CPU, memory, IOPS, I/O throughput, flash capacity, network and other shared database resources. Cloud administrators can configure Resource Manager to allocate and manage shared resources for each database tenant in a shared cloud. Database administrators can prioritize amongst different workloads running within their tenant database. Resource Manager is instrumental to the success of the Oracle Autonomous Database Cloud Service, where highly-critical OLTP database applications and resource-intensive data warehouses run side-by-side with lower priority development and test databases. This talk will go over the challenges and lessons learned from designing Resource Management policies for the Oracle Autonomous Database Cloud Service.
SPEAKER: Thomas Kim
Backend Engineer/Architect, LayerZero Labs
