The No-Ops Database: Accelerating Rapid App Dev and Security on Azure with Oracle AI Database 26ai
In the race to deliver intelligent applications, developers shouldn't be slowed down by database administration or security patching. Oracle AI Database 26ai brings "No-Ops" data management natively to Microsoft Azure, allowing developers to focus entirely on code rather than infrastructure.
This session explores how Azure developers can leverage the fully automated lifecycle of the AI Database 26ai—from self-tuning and auto-scaling to "always-on" security and autonomous patching. We will dive into how these capabilities enable rapid application development by removing the friction of manual DBA tasks. We will also demonstrate seamless integrations with Azure OpenAI, Microsoft Fabric, and Azure DevOps, showing how 26ai’s converged architecture simplifies data modeling and ensures your Azure-hosted applications are secure, resilient, and ready to scale from day one.
Building Azure AI Applications with Oracle AI Database 26ai
Modern AI applications need more than models—they need databases designed for AI workloads. In this session, Azure developers will learn how Oracle Autonomous AI Database 26ai can be used alongside Microsoft Azure to build intelligent, production-ready applications.
We’ll focus on AI-centric capabilities such as vector search, hybrid relational and JSON data access, and autonomous operations that remove day-to-day database management. You’ll see how Azure-hosted applications and AI services can interact with Oracle AI Database 26ai using familiar APIs and developer workflows, enabling scalable AI solutions without sacrificing data reliability or performance.
This session is ideal for developers and architects building AI-powered applications who want an AI-ready data foundation that integrates cleanly with Azure services.
Multicloud Without the Marketing: Oracle AI Database 26ai Across Azure, GCP, and AWS
Multicloud architectures are often easy to describe and hard to operate. In this session, we’ll cut through the hype and look at what actually works when running Oracle Autonomous Database 26ai across Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, and Amazon Web Services environments.
We’ll examine real-world deployment models, networking patterns, identity integration, and operational boundaries. You’ll learn how applications running in different clouds securely access shared data services, where multicloud adds real value, and where it introduces unnecessary complexity.
This talk focuses on practical architecture decisions and lessons learned—without theoretical cloud diagrams or vendor marketing.
Designing Multicloud Analytics with Oracle AI Database 26ai and Azure Data Platforms
As analytics platforms increasingly support AI-driven and real-time workloads, data architects face a new challenge: how to manage transactional, analytical, and vector data together—without overcomplicating the architecture. This session dives into advanced design patterns using Oracle Autonomous Database 26ai as a multicloud data foundation alongside Microsoft Azure analytics services.
We’ll focus on architectural decisions rather than AI fundamentals, exploring how autonomous scaling, hybrid transactional/analytical processing, and native vector data support simplify modern data pipelines. Attendees will see when to use Oracle AI Database 26ai versus Azure-native analytics services, how data flows between platforms, and what trade-offs matter for performance, cost, and governance.
This session is designed for data engineers and architects who already understand cloud analytics concepts and want practical guidance for building scalable, AI-ready analytics architectures across clouds.
Beyond Uptime: Architecting Resilient Oracle E-Business Suite Environments on OCI
This session moves beyond basic availability to explore how to architect a truly resilient Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) environment on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). We will provide a deep dive into the strategic High Availability (HA) and Disaster Recovery (DR) solutions that enable you to meet and exceed stringent Recovery Point Objective (RPO) and Recovery Time Objective (RTO) requirements. A key focus will be a detailed analysis of the Full Stack Disaster Recovery (FSDR) service, demonstrating its transformative role in automating and orchestrating comprehensive DR for your entire EBS stack. We will also cover the latest DR enhancements from the newest Cloud Manager release and present proven, resilient reference architectures for both ExaCS and DBCS, all optimized for seamless integration with FSDR. This is a must-attend session for anyone looking to fortify their business continuity strategy and ensure their critical EBS applications are protected against any eventuality.
Beyond Borders: Maximizing Your Multicloud Strategy with Oracle Database
The future of cloud is multicloud, and Oracle is at the forefront. This session will explore the dynamic landscape of Oracle's multicloud database solutions, with a dive into Database@Azure, Database@GCP, and Database@AWS. We'll break down the "why" and "how" behind these services, showing how they provide a compelling way for organizations to run mission-critical applications on their cloud of choice. We'll cover key implementation steps, best practices for seamless integration, and discuss how to navigate potential hurdles. This session will also provide practical strategies for ensuring low-latency connectivity and overcoming regional service limitations, ensuring you can build a truly resilient and high-performing multicloud environment.
