Facts on Oracle DB License in Public Cloud

For Oracle Enterprise Edition License

When counting Oracle Processor license requirements in Authorized Cloud Environments, the Oracle Processor Core Factor Table is not applicable.

Amazon EC2 and RDS -

Two vCPUs as equivalent to one Oracle Processor license if hyper-threading is enabled, and
One vCPU as equivalent to one Oracle Processor license if hyper-threading is not enabled.

Microsoft Azure – count one Azure CPU Core as equivalent to one Oracle Processor license.

For Oracle Standard Edition License

 The pricing is based on the size of the instance.

Authorized Cloud Environment instances with four or fewer Amazon vCPUs are counted as 1 socket, which is considered equivalent to an Oracle processor license.

Authorized Cloud Environment instances with two or fewer Azure CPU Cores Azure vCPUs are counted as 1 socket, which is considered equivalent to an Oracle processor license


Few additional facts...

 For Authorized Cloud Environment instances with more than four Amazon vCPUs, or more than two Azure CPU Cores, every four Amazon vCPUs used (rounded up to the nearest multiple of four), and every two Azure CPU Cores used (rounded up to the nearest multiple of two) equate to a licensing requirement of one socket..

Under this cloud computing policy, Oracle Database Standard Edition may only be licensed on Authorized Cloud Environment instances up to 16 Amazon vCPUs or eight Azure CPU Cores. Oracle Standard Edition One and Standard Edition 2 may only be licensed on Authorized Cloud Environment instances up to eight Amazon vCPUs or four Azure CPU Cores.

How are vector databases used?

  Vector Databases Usage: Typically used for vector search use cases such as visual, semantic, and multimodal search. More recently, they are paired with generative AI text models for conversational search experiences. Development Process: Begins with building an embedding model designed to encode a corpus (e.g., product images) into vectors. The data import process is referred to as data hydration. Application Development: Application developers utilize the database to search for similar products. This involves encoding a product image and using the vector to query for similar images. k-Nearest Neighbor (k-NN) Indexes: Within the model, k-nearest neighbor (k-NN) indexes facilitate efficient retrieval of vectors. A distance function like cosine is applied to rank results by similarity.

Feature Engineering - What and Why

Feature engineering is a crucial step in the machine learning pipeline where you create new, meaningful features or transform existing features to improve the performance of your predictive models. It involves selecting, modifying, or creating features from your raw data to make it more suitable for machine learning algorithms. Here's a more detailed overview of feature engineering: Why Feature Engineering? Feature engineering is essential for several reasons: Improving Model Performance: Well-engineered features can significantly boost the predictive power of your machine learning models. Handling Raw Data: Raw data often contains noise, missing values, and irrelevant information. Feature engineering helps in cleaning and preparing the data for analysis. Capturing Domain Knowledge: Domain-specific insights can be incorporated into feature creation to make the model more representative of the problem. Common Techniques and Strategies: 1. Feature Extraction: Transforming raw data
