Novedades Oracle Database Cloud Service - Septiembre 2017

September 2017

Feature	Description
Universal Credits subscription model	Database Cloud Service now supports the Universal Credits subscription model. In the Universal Credits subscription model, you commit to pay a certain amount up front monthly or annually for a bundle of services. Under this model, you can use any combination of the services such as Oracle Database Cloud Service and Oracle Java Cloud Service in your bundle whenever you need them. For information, see Selecting a Payment Plan in Getting Started with Oracle Cloud.
Create database deployments on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure	Database Cloud Service now supports database deployments on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure in addition to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Classic. If your account has access to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure regions, you can select one of these regions when creating certain types of database deployments. For more information, see About Database Deployments in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure in Using Oracle Database Cloud Service.
QuickStart templates available to create deployments easily	For new customers with a Universal Credits subscription Database Cloud Service provides three QuickStart templates that create database deployments of commonly used configurations. You simply pick a template and give the deployment a name. Database Cloud Service then uses an Oracle Cloud Stack Manager template to provide all the other configuration information. For details, see Creating a QuickStart Database Deployment in Using Oracle Database Cloud Service.
Leverage existing licenses when creating database deployments	For new customers with a Universal Credits subscription Database Cloud Service provides a “Bring your own license” feature you can use when creating database deployments. If you have existing perpetual licenses to Oracle Database, you can use one when creating a database deployment to establish the right to use Oracle Database. Then, your Cloud account will be charged a lesser amount for the new deployment because the right to use Oracle Database is covered by your perpetual license agreement.
Cloud tooling update available for deployments hosting Oracle RAC databases	The 17.3.5 update to cloud tooling is available to apply to existing Database Cloud Servicedatabase deployments that host Oracle RAC databases. To apply this update, use the tag 1735 when following the instructions Updating the Cloud Tooling by Using the raccli Utility in Using Oracle Database Cloud Service.
Linux OS security patching	You can apply Linux OS security patches to compute nodes hosting Database Cloud Service database deployments. See Applying Linux OS Security Patches in Using Oracle Database Cloud Service.
