We wanted to perform POC for Oracle database migration to Azure cloud. Could you please let us know how to push the Oracle RMAN backup to Azure BLOB storage. In Oracle cloud we use "Oracle backup module" to push the on-prem backup to oracle cloud bucket. Is there any way to push the RMAN backup from on-prem to Azure BLOB storage.

Could you please let us know the Oracle database to azure migration methods available?

    Hi @Patankar, Narottam ,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum and thanks for using Azure services.

    As I understand, you want to perform Oracle Database migration to Azure Cloud.

    Please let us know if I have missed anything in understanding.

    Your migration path can be to an Azure Virtual Machine (VM). It might also be to an Azure Managed Database that is running on an Azure VM.

    Below are the detailed standard documentation links describing the process:

    Oracle database migration decision process

    Oracle database migration to Azure refer this for different options available.

    Oracle VM images and their deployment on Microsoft Azure

    Create an Oracle Database in an Azure VM

    Alternatively, If your database is over 2 TB, you can use Oracle Data Guard with Oracle Recovery Manager (RMAN), or use Data Pump to replicate changes after an initial bulk data transfer, which provides a minimal downtime migration.

    Hope this helps. Let us know if further queries. Thank you.
