The image shows the hypervisor and database servers.

Each Oracle Exadata database server contains one or more virtual machine guests running on a hypervisor. Oracle manages the hypervisors through the management network.

The client and backup networks connect to the VM guest through bonded network interfaces to maximize performance and availability, where the backup network for Autonomous VM Clusters is managed by Oracle internally.

Each VM guest has a complete Oracle Database installation including all the Enterprise Edition options, such as Oracle Database In-Memory and Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC), as well as Oracle Grid Infrastructure. In the Autonomous cluster, we will have Autonomous Management tools. All the Autonomous Container Databases and Autonomous Databases are created in this Autonomous Exadata VM Cluster. Oracle manages the infrastructure through the management network, which connects the database and storage server hardware.
