(Kellyn Pot’Vin-Gorman) As the flood gates open up on Oracle for Azure IaaS, working in an efficient manner has become a necessity. We’re building out partners to help, but there are ways to empower our customers and those doing this work to make us all successful- hopefully this post will assist.

(Atul Kumar) Did you know that with Oracle’s Data Transfer Service you can now copy your data to a hard disk you own? :scream: Data can also be transferred securely and quickly from On-Premise to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Object Storage by using an Oracle supplied Data Transfer Appliance.
