As organizations modernize their data platforms and adopt cloud-native architectures, Oracle Autonomous AI Database has become a go-to solution for delivering secure, autonomous, high-performance databases with minimal administration. To help you land your Autonomous AI Database workloads faster and with best practices built in, we’re excited to highlight how OCI Landing Zones can streamline and automate your provisioning experience. 

What Are OCI Landing Zones? 

OCI Landing Zones are a set of free, open-source Terraform-based templates that automate the creation of a secure, compliant, and scalable cloud foundation within Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). These templates incorporate Oracle and industry-recognized best practices for identity, networking, security, governance, and observability, so you can start with a robust base environment from day one.   

Autonomous AI Database 

Oracle Autonomous AI Database provides a fully managed, highly available data platform that automates provisioning, tuning, patching, backup, and scaling, enabling teams to focus on innovation rather than maintenance. Whether you’re using Autonomous AI Transaction Processing, Autonomous AI Lakehouse, or other ADB variants, the goal is always to deliver data services quickly, securely, and reliably. 

OCI Landing Zone Support for Autonomous AI Database 

OCI Landing Zones now support the streamlined provisioning of Autonomous AI Database instances within your tenancy. This foundational integration lets you stand up fully operational Autonomous AI Database resources in a structured, automated, and repeatable way, dramatically reducing setup time and effort. 

Using Landing Zones allows you to: 

  • Automate environment creation: Launch secure compartments, networking, IAM policies, and more with Terraform, ensuring a standardized architecture.   
  • Accelerate database provisioning: Deploy Autonomous AI Databases as part of an overall landing zone blueprint rather than manually configuring each service.   
  • Follow security best practices: ADB deployments are production-ready from day one.   

This approach is especially valuable for teams moving quickly into the cloud and looking to ensure that governance, network segmentation, and access controls are in place before systems go live. 

Key Benefits 

Standardized automation: Build repeatable, best-practice environments using Terraform templates that integrate identity, security, networking, and database provisioning.   

Faster time-to-value: Spin up new Autonomous AI Database instances more quickly than ever, without manual setup or configuration drift. 

Operational simplicity: Eliminate repetitive manual steps, reduce setup errors. 

Secure baseline: Commence with a hardened OCI configuration so your database workloads align with enterprise security and compliance frameworks. 

What’s Next? 

To get started, explore the OCI Landing Zone templates on GitHub and deploy via Terraform, the OCI CLI, Resource Manager, or your preferred Infrastructure as Code workflow. Whether you’re onboarding your first workload or building multi-tenant data platforms, integrating Autonomous AI Database provisioning into your Landing Zone strategy accelerates your cloud journey. 

Stay tuned for future updates as we expand the Landing Zone blueprints to support additional Autonomous AI Database infrastructure automation and broader lifecycle operations.
