Oracle Database@Azure adds new AI-ready features, expands to 33 regions, and launches new partner and migration programs

Microsoft’s Azure VMware Solution (AVS) is a fast and easy way to seamlessly migrate VMware-based workloads to Azure, using familiar VMware tools and skills.

Together with Oracle, we’re announcing upgrades to Oracle Database@Azure, giving customers the ability to run or build new cloud applications that combine Oracle Database services with native Microsoft Azure services and benefit from extremely low latency and high performance.

I’m writing to you today from VMware Explore in Las Vegas, where my team and I are thrilled to present the latest updates for Azure VMware Solution (AVS).

Microsoft and Broadcom are expanding our partnership with plans to support VMware Cloud Foundation subscriptions on Azure VMware Solution.

Over the past three years, Microsoft and VMware have worked together closely to deliver our Azure VMware Solution (AVS) to customers in more than 30 Azure regions around the globe.

We are excited to share that Oracle Database@Azure is generally available in the Azure United States East region, with more regions coming in 2024. You can now use Oracle database services running on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) hardware deployed in Azure data centers.
