Azure is the only fully supported and properly-licensed public
cloud environment to deploy the Oracle stack and the only
third-party virtualization platform certified by Oracle
Oracle software certified on
Windows Server is supported on Azure!
Including:
• Java 6 and Java 7
• Oracle WebLogic Server
• Oracle Database
• Oracle Linux
• Oracle Fusion Middleware
Note: Refer MOS Note 1563794.1 Certified Software on Microsoft Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V

Establishing “disposable” Dev/Test environments. – You can
create a Dev/Test environment that you use to truly
experiment without putting your internal environments at risk.
Using Microsoft’s BI Suite to Analyze Oracle Data – With the
Oracle data in Azure it becomes easy to create dashboards
and other types of visualizations quickly.
Bursts of Scalability – If you need large amounts of RAM or
processing power to run a process on your data, you can
scale for a short period of time and then reduce the server
specs back to its normal operational requirement.

Considerations:
• JDKs in Azure Oracle images are 64-bit
• Hybrid cloud for Java apps with Oracle DB (app server/web tiers in Azure, DB on prem)
• Dynamic clusters (WLS 12c) for easy provisioning/mgmt
• Easily grow WebLogic cluster by capturing/deploying from a snapshot of your managed VM
• Automate creating/deploying managed VMs for WebLogic clusters with PowerShell/azure-cli & WLST
• Virtual Networking/subnets for multi-tier architecture & VPN for on-prem datacenter connectivity
• Integration with other Azure services (mobile services, message queues, etc) for net new or rearchitected apps
Caution:
• UDP multicasting not supported, recommend WLS cluster size to be kept static at <=10 managed
servers
• IPv6 support in WLS not applicable to Azure
• Azure cannot load balance multiple instances of WebLogic servers in a single VM

Considerations:
• Recommended DB size <10GB for data on System Disk
• Attach disk(s) for flexibility and improved performance
• Standalone Oracle DB, Data Guard, and GoldenGate available
• Configure & capture a customized image or deploy your own for rapid provisioning and
automation
• Consider Virtual Networking to capture an IP & VPN for connectivity to on-premise
datacenter
• Use special offers for MSDN subscribers for Dev/test on Azure
Caution:
• Oracle Database clustering (RAC for Oracle DB) is not currently supported
• Current disk limit ~500IOps max per disk (non-striped)
Attach multiple disks
presenting those disks to ASM directly.
Not using storage pools
Concurrency didn’t make a
noticeable difference in either
of the above approaches.
The host cache was OFF in
both.
