Amazon Will Be Off All Oracle Databases By End of 2019, Says AWS Chief

Posted by BeauHD on from the do-it-yourself dept.

Amazon Web Services CEO Andy Jassy said in an interview on Wednesday that almost all of Amazon's databases that ran on Oracle will be on an Amazon database instead. "We're virtually done moving away from Oracle on the database side," Jassy said. "And I think by the end of 2019 or mid-2019 we'll be done." CNBC reports: Amazon is reducing its reliance on Oracle for its data needs and is instead using its own services. Jassy said 88 percent of Amazon databases that were running on Oracle will be on Amazon DynamoDB or Amazon Aurora by January. He added that 97 percent of "mission critical databases" will run on DynamoDB or Aurora by the end of the year. On Nov. 1, Amazon moved its data warehouse from Oracle to its own service, Redshift, Jassy said.

    As if the DBA account would also have rights to perform a system shutdown.

    You're in luck! Amazon Aurora is basically a different backend for PostgreSQL (just announced) or MySQL that simplifies management. You don't have to learn anything new.
