Amazon RDS vs Oracle Database Cloud Service

• Zero manual configuration, you can get an instance up and running in just 5 minutes.
• High scalability (RDS simplifies setting up master-slave cluster) and reliability (Multi AZ replications).
• Automatic backups so that we don't have to worry about losing data.

• Easy to implement and set-up services in oracle cloud platform.
• Easy for maintenance like applying patches, auto back-up on cloud storage and local storage.
• Easy to scale up the core CPU & data storage for Database Server.
• Secured SSH connection and very well managed to control access on the database as service.

• Hard to debug performance issues at times since it is a managed service and we don't have all privileges.

• It will be good to have UI control based auto backup options like retention of database backup, auto delete DB back-up.
• Auto Extend Data Storage on existing local storage process needs to be little improved, it's not smooth to create the extension of data storage on local.
• There should be some easy and better way of sending the DB monitor alerts (like Tablespace exceed,Index Space is full, High Performance Query on DB) to specific required email address.

• Combined with metabase, RDS has enabled numerous non-technical members of our team to run and share sophisticated queries.
• The engineering time spent on worrying about RDS has been minimal. We set it up once over a year ago and haven't touched it since.
• We're relying on metabase and RDS more for operations-related dashboards, because it's generally faster to iterate on a simple query than a complex web application.

• Yes it saved the time/effort for manually installing and set-up of Oracle DB.
• It also saved efforts/time on patches, db back-up process.
• Now easy to scale up the Oracle DB as service without any long process of procuring the additional hardware and set-up.
