Oracle Licensing for Disaster Recovery (DR) in Azure | Failover Rules & Compliance Tips

Описание: 🛑 Oracle Licensing for Disaster Recovery (DR) in Azure | Failover Rules & Compliance Tips

Running Oracle in a disaster recovery (DR) setup on Microsoft Azure? Don’t assume DR environments are free from licensing — Oracle has strict rules, and getting it wrong can lead to major compliance exposure.

In this video, we explain how Oracle defines failover vs. standby, and when DR systems in Azure require full licensing.

You’ll learn:

What qualifies as passive failover — and the 10-day/year activation limit

Why DR systems using Oracle Data Guard, real-time replication, or always-on standby typically need full licenses

Azure-specific implications:
• DR VMs running Oracle, even when idle, likely require licensing
• Fully shut-down VMs may be exempt — if you can prove they were inactive

Why documentation is critical — track activation times, test events, and usage history

💡 Key insight: Oracle only allows unlicensed DR use in very limited cases. If your DR system is always on or syncing, treat it like production — and license it accordingly.
