Oracle on Azure Assessment - Categories

• We will present a robust model for assessing multiple Oracle workloads, both

application and database level

• The objective is to categorize Oracle application in scope into one of three

categories as shown below:

Category Description

Lift & Shift All Oracle application and database base components aresupported on Microsoft Azure without upgrade

Lift & Shift with Upgrade Partial upgrades to supported version are required

Hybrid Cloud Selected Oracle application and database base aredeployed to Microsoft Azure in Hybrid Cloud. Integrationwith on premise data centre required

Oracle on Azure Assessment - Mapping Process

1. Determine suitable Azure Deployment Complexity for applications in scope:

• „Lift & Shift“: Deploy to Azure with fully supported Oracle components

• „ Lift & Shift with Upgrade“: Deploy to Azure after required upgrades to

supported versions

• „Hybrid Cloud“: Deploy selected application components to Azure

2. Collect required Infrastructure Metrics for each application

3. Apply Oracle on Azure Feasibility Criteria to each Oracle database

4. Map application assets and Oracle databases to Azure IaaS architecture using

Sizing Guidelines

Oracle on Azure Assessment Step 1 – Deployment Complexity

Lift & Shift All ISV / non-ISV application components are fully supported on Microsoft Azure and use x86-compatible platforms • Operating System:

Windows Server 2008 R2 or 2012, SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP3, Ubuntu 12 through 14, Oracle Enterprise Linux 6.4

• Database:Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2, 2012 and 2014, Oracle Database 11gR2 and 12cR1

Lift & Shift with Upgrade

Some ISV / non-ISV application components are not fully supported on Microsoft Azure, but use x86-compatible platforms• Outdated version of a supported operating system:

e.g. Windows Server 2003, Oracle Enterprise Linux 5• Outdated version of a supported database:

e.g. Microsoft SQL Server 2005, Oracle Database 9i and 10g

Hybrid Cloud Some or all ISV / non-ISV application components are not fully supported on Microsoft Azure, and use non x86-compatible platforms• Operating system on non-x86 compatible platforms:

e.g. Application stays on AIX on PowerPC or Solaris on SPARC / Exadata• Other strategic application components:

e.g. 3rd Party solution, core application stay on premises

Oracle on Azure Assessment Step 1 - Use Cases

Lift & Shift Current:Custom application written in JAVA runs on Oracle 11gR2 database under SuSE v12

Approach:Deploy application and database without change to Azure

Lift & Shift with Upgrade

Current:A custom application written in JAVA runs on Oracle 10i Database under RHEL v10

Approach:Deploy application to Azure, upgrade to Oracle 11g or 12c Database under OEL 6.4

Hybrid Cloud Current:An ISV package runs on Oracle 12c Database and Oracle Web Logic Server under AIX

Target:ISV solution stays on premises, move Web Logic Server farm to Azure

Oracle on Azure Assessment Step 2 – Infrastructure Metrics

• Definition of Application Tiers:

• User Interaction Tier

• Application Tier

• Middleware Tier

• Integration Tier

• Database Tier

• Dedicated Physical Resources

• Number of Nodes

• Number of Cores / Node / Total

• Virtualisation Used, Number of VMs

• Main Memory

• Disk Space / Node / Total

• Network Bandwidth

• External Endpoints

Oracle on Azure Assessment Step 3 - Feasibility Criteria

Custom Application:

ISV Solution:

Azure Criteria Description

Networking Protocol Is UDP multi-cast protocol required (e.g. Oracle RAC)?

Network Isolation Is DMZ/LAN style isolation required?

OS Platform Is operating system and version supported on Azure?

Oracle Product Is Oracle product and version supported on Azure?

Scalability Is Cloud Burst (dynamically adding VM) required?

High AvailabilityIs app server clustering, db clustering, disk mirroring required?

IO Bandwidth

Is IO bandwidth between Azure VM and external endpoints > 500 IOPs per Azure disk, with disk groups > 8000 IOPs required?

Memory Requirements Is Azure VM > 128 GB required?

Storage Requirements Is Azure VM storage > 16 TB required?

Messaging

Messaging between application components (e.g. sends email using SMTP)

Identity management Identity federation (including 3rd party identity provider)

Data Encryption

Crypto Requirements (e.g. application depends on a particular HSM card for cryptographic work)

Component Dependancy Dependancy on other application components

ISV Solution Dependancy Dependency on 3rd party components

ISV Integration PointsIntegration between ISV solution and other components / services

Oracle on Azure Assessment Step 4 – Sizing Guidelines

• Look up “Virtual Machine Sizes and Cloud Services for Azure”

• Find equivalent Azure VM Size based on:

• Architecture layer (web tier, app tier, messaging tier, db tier)

• Total number of cores, memory and storage

• Small, medium or large compute cloud service

• Choose “Basic Tier” for Test / Development purpose

• Choose “Standard Tier” for Production purpose

• Disk grouping for required IOPs (up to 8.000 IOPs)

• Number of Azure VMs to map number of server nodes

• Determine lower and higher end sizing to give estimated range

• Look up Azure subscription cost per hour in Azure Price List
