A current trend is that organizations frequently must address business requirements resulting in multi-cloud environments where applications and data will target more than one public cloud provider.

Larry Ellison and Satya Nadella announced the general availability of Oracle Database Service for Microsoft Azure (ODSA), enabling Azure Applications to access Oracle Database Services directly with low latency as if operating in one cloud.

Developers familiar with Azure can deploy Oracle Databases from the Azure Portal, use ODSA’s automated cross-cloud network provisioning and identity federation, and view Azure-integrated Oracle Database metrics as a single pane of glass for observability.
