Program Overview: What is Oracle Exadata and Autonomous Database Operations?
Oracle Exadata & Autonomous Database Operations is Edstellar's instructor-led technical program for DBAs and cloud operations teams running Exadata and Autonomous Database. Participants master Exadata architecture, autonomous lifecycle management, smart storage offload, workload management, and backup and compliance across 24 hours of hands-on training. It covers both engineered systems and self-managing cloud databases.
Training runs lab-first from the first module. Your team provisions autonomous databases, manages patching lifecycles, and tunes workloads with IORM through guided labs in every module. Instructors coach on balancing automation with operational control, reviewing each exercise with direct feedback. The program closes with a capstone where the team delivers an end-to-end Exadata operations program, with lifecycle management, IORM policies, and compliance checks all documented.
Autonomous does not mean unattended: teams still misconfigure workloads, ignore patching windows, and discover compliance gaps during audits. Automation handles the routine while the hard operational questions remain. This program teaches your team to operate Exadata and Autonomous Database deliberately, with lifecycle management, security, and performance ownership clearly defined.
The capstone is an end-to-end operations program for a mixed estate: autonomous databases provisioned and patched on schedule, IORM policies keeping workloads honest, backups verified with test restores, and a compliance checklist signed off. The team hands over a runbook that treats automation as a tool under their control, not a replacement for judgment.
Six modules and 24 hours: Exadata architecture fundamentals, smart scans and storage offload, provisioning and patching, workload management and SQL tuning, backup and security, and a capstone operations program. Every module pairs concept sessions with guided labs on real-world use cases, so your team practices the workflows it owns.
