Selecting the appropriate storage for Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is crucial, as different storage types delivers varying levels of performance. Key factors to consider for Oracle EBS application storage:

[1] Performance

[2] Restoration

[3] Cost

OCI provides two primary storage options that can be mounted on compute instances:

[1] File Storage

[2] Block Volume

Each option has its own advantages and limitations. It is essential to understand your customerโ€™s business requirements and application needs to make the right choice for EBS.

Here are the key points need to be considered for choosing storage options for application in EBS:

[1] Easy Configuration: File storage is simple to set up in any compute instance.

[ ~๐Ÿต๐Ÿฌ% ๐—น๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜€ manual effort while comparing to Block volume configuration.] [3] Automatic Snapshots: OCI supports automatic snapshots through standard policies, enabling fast snapshot creation regardless of file system size.

[4] Quick Restoration: Snapshots allow easy restoration of individual files or folders within seconds, ensuring rapid recovery when needed.

[1] Standard Formatting: Block volume offers a standard way to format and mount volumes in compute instances.

[2] Superior Performance: It delivers better performance than file storage during high-intensity CPU operations, such as compiling jar files or running ADOP options in EBS.

[4] Backup Policies: Standard backup policies are available, but restoration requires creating a new volume from the backup using traditional methods.
