Part 1: The EBS Cloud Reality Check — Why “Lift and Shift to VMs” Doesn’t Work for ERP
Managing Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) is challenging, particularly with cloud migration due to licensing complexities, rigid VM sizing, and co-location requirements. EBS relies on interconnected systems that necessitate low-latency environments. Oracle Database@Azure addresses these issues by offering managed services on Exadata infrastructure, allowing for cohesive migration without excessive costs. Smaller enterprises benefit from the Base Database Service, which aligns capacity with actual licensing needs, enabling effective operations without requiring Azure teams to become OCI experts.
