OCI Workload Journey FAQs
OCI workload journey FAQs are identified in this topic.
What workloads are currently supported?
- Database Migration
- Multicloud (AWS, Azure, GCP)
- Generative AI
- AI Services
- Core Infrastructure
- Oracle Integration
- VMware Migration
What are the core stages for each workload journey?
- Discover (current state, use case clarity, questionnaires/templates)
- Design (learning, best practices, tooling, reference architectures)
- Implement (landing zones/blueprints, step-by-step deployment guidance, validation)
What are “Discovery Tools” and why are there multiple?
Discovery tools help gather details from the current environment and prepare for migration/implementation planning. Multiple tools exist because customer environments differ (e.g., database estate discovery vs EM-managed extraction vs other data capture approaches).
What is the Database migration or Discovery Questionnaire and how is it used?
The Questionnaire helps ensure consistency across your plan, improves collaboration with consultants or implementation teams, and sets a strong foundation for design and execution. The questions are typically used by consultants to support planning and design.
Does the Questionnaire automatically generate the Solution Definition Document (SDD)?
No. SDD creation is manual today. Templates/resources are provided to accelerate authoring, but content must be filled in for the specific customer/architecture.
Can customers/teams upload artifacts?
Yes. Workload artifacts (questionnaires, outputs, design documents) can be uploaded to My Documents or within a workload journey to create a centralized repository for the team.
What is covered in the Implement stage of the journey?
- Landing zone / blueprint guidance
- Deployment instructions (including Terraform and Resource Manager paths depending on workload)
- Deployment validation checklists (connectivity, routing/peering, security zone enforcement, compartment/resource readiness, etc.)
