Oracle Autonomous Database is the industry's first self-driving, self-securing and self-repairing cloud database. It combines decades of database automation techniques, and database infrastructure development, with the power of machine learning to deliver a fully autonomous database that revolutionizes data management for any type of workload. In this talk we will understand how Oracle achieved the autonomous vision, and peek under the hood to reveal the Top-5 transformational technologies the Oracle Autonomous Database is built on, making the world’s best database also the world’s simplest.
