Migrating to OCI Big Data Service

Oracle encourages you to migrate your existing cloud resources workload to Oracle Big Data Service on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.

In Oracle Cloud, you provision resources in specific regions, which are localized to geographic locations. This gives you the flexibility to deploy in regions with proximity to you or your data sources.

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is Oracle's more modern infrastructure platform that's based on the latest cloud technologies and standards. It provides more consistent performance and better features at lower costs. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure also has more predictable pricing and lower costs in terms of Oracle Compute Units (OCPUs) per hour and storage capacity. Most importantly, Oracle continues to invest in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, including the addition of new regions, services, and features. See Data Regions for Platform and Infrastructure Services.

Benefits of Migrating to Big Data Service

By migrating to Big Data Service, you can do the following:

  • Deploy your managed cluster using a wide range of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure compute shapes, which:

    • Allows dynamic control of cluster capacity and resources

    • Allows customization of your cluster hosts to meet your workload requirements and suit your budget

    • Provides infinite scalability for both compute and storage

    • Allows you to scale cluster resources up or down quickly

  • Leverage FastConnect and private subnets to allow completely private high-speed access to your cluster and treat Oracle Cloud Infrastructure as an extension of your data center.
