Dual standby database support in an Autonomous Data Guard configuration

Autonomous Database on Dedicated Exadata Infrastructure lets you enable Autnomous Data Guard from the Details page of an Autonomous Container Database (ACD) and create up to two standby ACDs. The second standby ACD must be in the same tenancy as the primary ACD.

See Add a Second Standby Autonomous Container Database for instructions.

With this release, the previous Autonomous Data Guard Associations model and associated APIs will be deprecated and replaced with the new Autonomous Data Guard Groups model and APIs. All new ACDs provisioned after March 2025 from the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) console will automatically use the new Autonomous Data Guard Groups model.

To transition existing ACDs, customers can migrate to the new model by clicking the Upgrade to Autonomous Data Guard Groups from the ACD Details page on the OCI Console. See Autonomous Data Guard Models to know more details about upgrading to the new model.
