Select Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Shapes

Identify compute shapes that provide similar IaaS resources in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure to the shapes that you're currently using for your service instances on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Classic.

A compute shape defines the IaaS resources, such as OCPUs and memory, that are available to a specific node in a service instance. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Classic each has its own set of standard compute shapes. See:

  • About Shapes in Using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Compute Classic
  • Compute Shapes in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure documentation

To ensure that a migrated service instance has the same performance characteristics as the original instance, and can support an equivalent workload, choose Oracle Cloud Infrastructure shapes that most closely map to the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Classic shapes that you specified when you created the instance.

You must also confirm that the chosen shapes are available in your Oracle Cloud tenancy. Oracle configures shape limits for an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure region, or for a specific availability domain within a region. You can use the console to view the current shape limits for your tenancy, and to request a limit increase if necessary. See Service Limits in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure documentation.
