Oracle has enhanced a number of its cloud services with machine learning and AI to automate key operational tasks. Although these new Oracle Autonomous Cloud services vary widely, they all offer automation features that Oracle describes as self-driving, self-securing and self-repairing. With these features, Oracle Autonomous Cloud can also automatically increase or decrease compute or storage resources without incurring downtime. The self-securing capabilities include intelligent, adaptive cyber threat detection and remediation, in addition to automatic security patching and data encryption. Oracle Autonomous Cloud's self-repairing features ensure up to 99.995% availability and include automated protection from downtime, resulting in less than 2.5 minutes of downtime per month, according to Oracle.
