In Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), Cloud Ops DBAs often face performance issues caused by blocking sessions. A blocking session occurs when one session holds a lock on a resource and other sessions wait for that lock to be released. In cloud-hosted databases, blocking can cause query slowness, application timeouts, and even outages if not addressed […]
As a Cloud Ops DBA, one of your primary responsibilities is monitoring the performance of Oracle Cloud Databases. Key metrics such as CPU utilization, memory usage, and IOPS (input/output operations per second) must be continuously tracked to ensure database stability and to avoid hitting resource bottlenecks. The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Command Line Interface (CLI) […]
When a performance issue occurs in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), the Cloud Ops DBA’s job is not just to react but to diagnose systematically and resolve the root cause. Performance problems may stem from compute, storage, network, database configuration, or inefficient SQL. This blog provides a step-by-step deep dive troubleshooting workflow with OCI CLI commands, […]
Performance issues in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) databases can arise due to CPU saturation, I/O bottlenecks, long-running queries, or inefficient application design. As a Cloud Ops DBA, your role is to identify the root cause quickly and take corrective actions. This guide walks through a structured troubleshooting approach using both OCI CLI and Oracle dynamic […]
