IMPLEMENTING HYBRID CLOUD ARCHITECTURES WITH ORACLE AND AWS: LESSONS FROM MISSION-CRITICAL DATABASE MIGRATIONS

Abstract

Hybrid cloud adoption is accelerating across industries, offering organizations flexibility, resilience, and cost optimization. This paper explores the design and implementation of hybrid cloud architectures integrating Oracle databases and AWS cloud services. Through real-world case studies of mission-critical database migrations, we analyze architectural patterns, key success factors, and common pitfalls. The study provides an original framework for hybrid deployment decision-making, benchmarks performance outcomes, and offers prescriptive guidance for IT leaders. Our findings offer practical insights and community-wide benefits for organizations modernizing legacy infrastructure while preserving mission-critical workloads.
