### [Architect highly available Oracle Database on Amazon EVS and FSx for ONTAP](https://yomu.fyi/post/architect-highly-available-oracle-database-on-amazon-evs-and-fsx-for-o.md)

Enterprises with existing VMware Cloud Foundation investments can migrate Oracle databases to AWS using Amazon Elastic VMware Service (EVS) and Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP without rearchitecting applications or retraining operations teams. The architecture splits storage between vSAN for low-latency transient workloads and FSx for ONTAP NFS datastores for Oracle data files and redo logs, delivering sub-millisecond latency and up to 80,000 IOPS. Cross-region disaster recovery uses SnapMirror to asynchronously replicate FSx for ONTAP volumes, with pre-provisioned standby Oracle VMs that mount replicas only after failover to avoid Oracle double licensing. Recommended EC2 bare metal instance types include i7i.metal-24xl for per-core compute speed and i7i.metal-48xl for vertical scaling, both supporting VCF 9.1. Migration options include VMware HCX for live migration, SnapMirror for ONTAP-to-ONTAP transfer, and RMAN for universal database movement.
