Oracle DB and Docker recommendaNons
• Use the latest Docker version, at least Docker CE 17.03
– btrfs is the recommended storage driver, followed by overlay2
• Use the latest provided images/build files
• Use data containers/volumes
• Use PDB plug/unplug to transport data between databases/upgrade
• Containers are not VMs
– Patching works differently, H/A works differently, Security works differently
– No need to log into the container!
