Onboard the service
Understand the architecture and bring Oracle Database services into an AWS environment.

Overview
The database is Oracle’s. The network is AWS’s. This exam covers where the two meet.
A Professional exam for architects, database administrators and cloud engineers who place Oracle Database inside AWS. It weights seven objectives, with architecture and onboarding and provisioning and operating at 20% each. The exam is 50 questions in 90 minutes with a 68% passing score, and the weights come from a launch post over a year old.

Course outline
Place Oracle Database beside AWS
Place Oracle Database beside AWS
and design for what can fail.
We design this course ourselves. Oracle runs the exam and issues the credential, and LUNARTECH is independent of Oracle.
Start with the reasoning behind multicloud: data gravity, latency, existing Oracle estates and the wish to use cloud services without moving the database far. You learn when this model is the right answer and when it is not.
- Data gravity and application latency
- Where Oracle Database fits in an AWS-centered estate
- Use cases: applications, analytics and modernization
- Who runs what: the shared responsibility split
- When a different placement is the better choice
You build A placement argument for one application: stay put, move to OCI, or run beside AWS.
The service spans two providers, so you need to know where each piece lives. You learn how the database infrastructure is placed, which side controls what, and how the two management planes meet.
- Where the database infrastructure physically sits
- Control plane and data plane across AWS and OCI
- Which provider operates which layer
- Supported services and regions in outline
- Limits and quotas to plan around
You build An architecture diagram that labels each component with its owner and plane.
Before the first database, accounts, permissions and links between the clouds must be right. You learn the onboarding steps, the roles each side needs, and the checks that show it worked.
- Preparing the AWS account and permissions
- Linking the Oracle side to the AWS account
- Roles and who may do what during setup
- Regional prerequisites and quotas
- Verifying onboarding before provisioning
- Common onboarding failures
You build An onboarding checklist with owners and verification steps.
Most problems with this service are network problems. You plan address ranges, connect your AWS networks to the database network, design name resolution, and trace the path a query takes.
- Planning non-overlapping address ranges
- Connecting AWS networks to the database network
- Routing and security rules in both clouds
- DNS resolution between the two sides
- Reaching the database from on-premises
- Tracing and fixing a connection that fails
You build A network design with address plan, routes and DNS for one application.
Provisioning is the first step of a long operating life. You create the infrastructure and the databases, then manage patching windows, scaling, monitoring and automation across both consoles.
- Provisioning infrastructure and then databases
- Sizing and scaling compute and storage
- Patching and maintenance windows
- Monitoring in AWS and in Oracle tools
- Automating provisioning with code
- Tracking the cost of the service
You build A runbook and provisioning template for one database environment.
Availability depends on design in both clouds. You choose how to protect against host, zone and region failure with clustering, standby databases and backups, and you set recovery objectives you can test.
- Availability requirements and recovery objectives
- Clustering and standby databases
- Backups with the Autonomous Recovery Service
- Cross-region disaster recovery design
- Application failover and connection handling
- Testing recovery and recording the result
You build A disaster recovery design with recovery objectives and a test plan.
Two clouds mean two identity systems and two sets of controls. You design who can manage the service and who can reach the data, with encryption, network isolation and audit across both.
- Identity and access on the AWS and Oracle sides
- Separating administrators from database users
- Encryption and key management
- Network isolation and private access
- Auditing and logging across clouds
- Meeting compliance requirements
You build An access and security model for one environment, with controls mapped to risks.
Moving a live database must not stop the business. You assess sources, choose between physical and logical approaches, run migrations with Zero Downtime Migration workflows, and plan cutover and rollback.
- Assessing the source database and its readiness
- Physical and logical migration compared
- How Zero Downtime Migration workflows run
- Preparing source, target and network
- Cutover, validation and rollback
- Migrating many databases in waves
You build A migration plan for one database, with workflow choice, cutover steps and rollback.
Join placement, networking, resilience, security and migration into one design. You design the Oracle Database layer for a business application on AWS, and defend each choice against its alternatives.
- Reading the business case and constraints
- Choosing the architecture and network design
- Designing resilience and security
- Planning migration and operations
- Estimating cost and risk
- Defending choices against alternatives
You build A complete Oracle Database@AWS design with a written defense of each major choice.

LUNARTECH Academy has been the most empowering learning experience of my life, giving me a clear, structured path from the absolute basics to building real-world AI systems with confidence.
Your page is fantastic. As a bachelor’s student in Data Science now accepted for a master’s at UConn, your work has been a real source of motivation.
The programme’s clear, bite-sized content and practical projects dramatically improved my speed from fuzzy idea to MVP and my ability to communicate AI value. I followed the system, and it works.
I really appreciate your teaching style and the way you break down complex topics. It has been incredibly helpful.
After years working mainly with R for econometrics, I found your Python machine learning course a refreshing and engaging way to learn Python.
