To begin with, Oracle Autonomous Database has all the essential properties that significantly waive much of the data management overhead while being a cost-effective database solution. Needless to say, this is a highly available (HA) database solution in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) with an SLA of 99.95% for a shared infrastructure and an SLO of 99.95% for Autonomous Database for a dedicated infrastructure or Exadata Cloud at Customer (C@C). Thus, this makes it an ideal platform for our mission-critical application, as applications can run uninterrupted irrespective of whether there is any database maintenance activity or there is any fault in any component of the underlying infrastructure for the reasons discussed earlier.

Now, the next question that comes to mind is “Although my current Autonomous Database is HA and protected from any kind of failures, is it 100% protected?” This leads us to perform the same level of risk...
