Managed service offering for Oracle database on GCP marketplace To answer the above question, we shall take a look at the below solution published in Google Cloud’s marketplace: Managed service offering for Oracle DB on GCP What does Google Cloud offer in this regard as we started this article by speaking of enterprise support? Sole tenant nodes still have the OS and hypervisor installed onto them. It is however, not be seen as ‘Bare Metal as a Service’. It needs to be clarified that Sole Tenancy is reserving an entire physical host for a single customer workloads. We get queries on support for Oracle DB on GCP Sole Tenant nodes. In that sense, running Oracle DB on bare metal servers should not be a problem! As you know, Oracle licensing is tied up to the numbers of processors the Oracle binaries are running on. The licensing constraints imposed by Oracle can mostly be attributed to the hypervisor being used by the Cloud provider and the way the number of cores and VCPUs are calculated. We do not go into the business reasons about why Google Cloud is not supported by Oracle in here. You can neither BYOL nor buy the licenses for Oracle DB on GCE VMs. The lack of licensing options is what makes it a ‘not supported’ case. One can spin up a RHEL7 VM, download Oracle DB package and install it following the usual installation procedures.

This document published by Oracle helps you understand the list of ‘Authorized Cloud Environments’. What are the supported cloud providers for Oracle DB? ![]() If you are someone looking for information on these lines, we believe this post comes in handy. This rightly gives us a reason to come up with this article discussing various feasibilities on GCP. While there is information out there for anyone to Google, one finds it scattered and incomplete leaving the customers with some unanswered questions. Speaking of enterprise support, as a Google Cloud Premier Partner, we keep getting questions from customers on the Google Cloud offering & support when it comes to running Oracle DB. With the ‘Anthos’ hybrid cloud platform offering and the more recent ‘Google Cloud VMware Solution by CloudSimple’ announcement, it looks nothing but evident that enterprise workloads are an aggressively pursued market by Google Cloud.
