Oracle Multicloud Foundations Associate Training and Certification Now Available

Oracle AI Database@AWS/Azure/Google Cloud brings Oracle Exadata infrastructure into hyperscaler data centers, creating new choices for where applications and databases run. Understanding those choices starts with the fundamentals: how the service is onboarded, how databases are provisioned, connected, and managed, and how data is protected and migrated.

To help individuals and organizations build this knowledge, we are pleased to announce the Oracle Multicloud Foundations Associate course and certification.
