About Autonomous Database

Oracle Autonomous Database on Dedicated Exadata Infrastructure is a highly automated, fully managed database environment running in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) with committed hardware and software resources. These isolated resources enable organizations to meet stringent security, availability, and performance requirements while reducing cost and complexity. Autonomous Databases are provisioned inside an Autonomous Container Database (ACD) and are user databases. You can create many Autonomous Databases in a single Autonomous Container Database resource.
