Rapid Home Provisioning

Ludovico Caldara

Rapid Home Provisioning is a new feature in Oracle Grid Infrastructure 12c R2 that provides a simplified way to provision and patch Oracle software and databases. It uses a centralized management server and golden images stored on ACFS to deploy pre-packaged and patched Oracle homes to client nodes. Administrators can easily create working copies of golden images, deploy databases from the working copies, and seamlessly patch databases by moving them to a working copy based on a newer patched golden image with a single command.
