The design uses FSx for ONTAP NFS datastores, EC2 bare-metal hosts, and SnapMirror to support high availability and cross-region recovery while retaining VMware workflows. The trade-offs are relevant to teams migrating established database systems.

What: Oracle Database on Amazon EVS pairs VMware Cloud Foundation with FSx for NetApp ONTAP storage for a highly available deployment.
How: FSx provides NFS datastores for Oracle data and log volumes, while SnapMirror replication supports cross-region disaster recovery.
Why it matters: The design lets teams migrate Oracle workloads while preserving VMware operations and independently scaling storage and compute.

The diagram shows the hybrid path to Oracle storage and cross-region replication. Sketched from the article's own text.
