Description of the illustration ADB-Dedicated-Exadata-Infrastructure-resource-model.png
This image depicts Autonomous Database on Dedicated Exadata Infrastructure’s resource model with examples.
The Fleet Admin resources (Exadata Infrastructure, Autonomous Exadata VM Cluster, and Autonomous Container Database) are more infrastructure and architecture-oriented, requiring longer provisioning times. However, they are not often created, except during initial environment setup or for capacity expansion as you add more workloads.
The Developer/Application DBA resource (Autonomous Database a.k.a. ADB) can be created quickly and easily in a self-service manner. The service design enables the creation of Fleet Admin resources with no billable costs, allowing you to set up a CI/CD governance model that spans development through the stage to production. This can be made visible to application owners via quota allocations, allowing them to self-service Autonomous Databases within budgeted constraints.
