+# Oracle application solutions integrating Microsoft Azure and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (preview)
+
+Microsoft and Oracle have partnered to provide low latency, high throughput cross-cloud connectivity, allowing you to take advantage of the best of both clouds. 
+
+Using this cross-cloud connectivity, you can partition a multi-tier application to run your database tier on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), and the application and other tiers on Microsoft Azure. The experience is similar to running the entire solution stack in a single cloud. 
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> This cross-cloud capability is currently in preview, and some [limitations apply](#preview-limitations). Previews are made available to you on the condition that you agree to the [supplemental terms of use](https://azure.microsoft.com/support/legal/preview-supplemental-terms/). Some aspects of this feature may change prior to general availability (GA).
+
+If you are interested in deploying Oracle solutions entirely on Azure infrastructure, see [Oracle VM images and their deployment on Microsoft Azure](oracle-vm-solutions.md).
+
+## Scenario overview
+
+Cross-cloud connectivity provides a solution for you to run Oracle’s industry-leading applications, and your own custom applications, on Azure virtual machines while enjoying the benefits of hosted database services in OCI. 
+
+Applications you can run in a cross-cloud configuration include:
+
+* E-Business Suite
+* JD Edwards EnterpriseOne
+* PeopleSoft
+* Oracle Retail applications
+* Oracle Hyperion Financial Management
+
+The following diagram is a high-level overview of the connected solution. For simplicity, the diagram shows only an application tier and a data tier. Depending on the application architecutre, your solution could include additional tiers such as a web tier in Azure. For more information, see the following sections.
+
+![Azure OCI solution overview](media/oracle-oci-overview/crosscloud.png)
+
+## Preview limitations
+
+* Cross-cloud connectivity in preview is limited to the Azure East US (eastus) region and the OCI Ashburn (us-ashburn-1) region.
+
+## Networking
+
+Enterprise customers often choose to diversify and deploy workloads over multiple clouds for various business and operational reasons. To diversify, customers interconnect cloud networks using the internet, IPSec VPN, or using the cloud provider’s direct connectivity solution via your on-premises network. Interconnecting cloud networks can require significant investments in time, money, design, procurement, installation, testing, and operations. 
+
+To address these customer challenges, Oracle and Microsoft have enabled an integrated multi-cloud experience. Cross-cloud networking is established by connecting an [ExpressRoute](../../../expressroute/expressroute-introduction.md) circuit in Microsoft Azure with a [FastConnect](https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/iaas/Content/Network/Concepts/fastconnectoverview.htm) circuit in OCI. This connectivity is possible where an Azure ExpressRoute peering location is in proximity to or in the same peering location as the OCI FastConnect. This setup allows for secure, fast connectivity between the two clouds without the need for an intermediate service provider.
+
+Using ExpressRoute and FastConnect, customers can peer a virtual network in Azure with a virtual cloud network in OCI, provided that the private IP address space does not overlap. Peering the two networks allows a resource in the virtual network to communicate to a resource in the OCI virtual cloud network as if they are both in the same network.
+
+## Network security
+
+Network security is a crucial component of any enterprise application, and is central to this multi-cloud solution. Any traffic going over ExpressRoute and FastConnect passes over a private network. This configuration allows for secure communication between an Azure virtual network and an Oracle virtual cloud network. You don't need to provide a public IP address to any virtual machines in Azure. Similarly, you don't need an internet gateway in OCI. All communication happens via the private IP address of the machines.
+
+Additionally, you can set up [security lists](https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/iaas/Content/Network/Concepts/securitylists.htm) on your OCI virtual cloud network and  security rules (attached to Azure [network security groups](../../../virtual-network/security-overview.md)). Use these rules to control the traffic flowing between machines in the virtual networks. Network security rules can be added at a machine level, at a subnet level, as well as at the virtual network level.
+ 
+## Identity
+
+Identity is one of the core pillars of the partnership between Microsoft and Oracle. Significant work has been done to integrate [Oracle Identity Cloud Service](https://docs.oracle.com/en/cloud/paas/identity-cloud/index.html) (IDCS) with [Azure Active Directory](../../../active-directory/index.yml) (Azure AD). Azure AD is Microsoft’s cloud-based identity and access management service. It helps your users sign in and access various resources. Azure AD also allows you to manage your users and their permissions.
+
+Currently, this integration allows you to manage in one central location, which is Azure Active Directory. Azure AD synchronizes any changes in the directory with the corresponding Oracle directory and is used for single sign-on to cross-cloud Oracle solutions.
+
+## Next steps
+
+For more information and whitepapers about OCI, see the [Oracle Cloud](https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/iaas/Content/home.htm) documentation.

+# Overview of Oracle applications and solutions on Azure
+
+This article introduces capabilities to run Oracle solutions using Azure infrastructure. See also detailed introductions to available [Oracle VM images](oracle-vm-solutions.md) in the Azure Marketplace, and the preview capability to [interconnect Azure with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)](oracle-oci-overview.md).
+
+## Oracle databases on Azure infrastructure
+
+Run Oracle databases on Azure infrastructure using Linux images available in the Azure Marketplace:
+
+* Oracle Database 12.1, 12.2, and 18.3 Enterprise Edition 
+
+* Oracle Database 12.1, 12.2, and 18.3 Standard Edition 
+
+You can also choose to base a solution on a custom image you create from scratch in Azure or upload a custom image from your on-premises environment.
+
+Optionally configure with multiple attached disks and improve database performance by installing Oracle Automated Storage Management (ASM).
+
+## Applications on Oracle Linux and WebLogic Server
+
+Run enterprise applications in Azure on supported Oracle operating systems. The following images are available in the Azure Marketplace:
+
+* Oracle WebLogic Server 12.1.2
+
+* Oracle Linux (UEK) 6.8, 6.9, 6.10, 7.3, 7.4, 7.5, and 7.6
+
+## High availability and disaster recovery options
+
+* Configure Oracle Data Guard, Active Data Guard, or GoldenGate on Azure infrastructure in conjunction with [Availability Zones](../../../availability-zones/az-overview.md) for high availability.
+
+* Use [Azure Site Recovery](../../../site-recovery/site-recovery-overview.md) to orchestrate and manage disaster recovery for your Oracle Linux VMs in Azure and your on-premises or physical servers. 
+
+* Enable Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) in Azure using [FlashGrid SkyCluster](https://www.flashgrid.io/oracle-rac-in-azure/).
+
+## Integration of Azure with OCI (preview)
+
+Run Oracle applications in Azure infrastructure, connected to backend databases in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). This solution uses the following capabilities: 
+
+* **Cross-cloud networking** - Use the direct interconnect available between Azure ExpressRoute and Oracle FastConnect to establish high-bandwidth, private, and low-latency connections between the application and the database layer.
+* **Integrated identity** - Set up federated identity between Azure AD and Oracle IDCS to create a single identity source for the solutions. Enable single sign-on to manage resources across OCI and Azure.
+
+### Deploy Oracle applications on Azure
+
+Use Terraform templates to set up Azure infrastructure and install Oracle applications validated and supported to run in the cross-cloud configuration:
+
+* E-Business Suite
+* JD Edwards EnterpriseOne
+* PeopleSoft
+* Oracle Retail applications
+* Oracle Hyperion Financial Management
+
+Also deploy custom applications in Azure that connect with OCI and other Azure services.
+
+### Set up Oracle databases in OCI
+
+Use Oracle Database Cloud Services (Autonomous Database, RAC, Exadata, DBaaS, Single Node) in conjunction with Oracle applications running in Azure. Learn more about [OCI database options](https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/iaas/Content/Database/Concepts/databaseoverview.htm). 
+ 
+
+## Licensing
+
+Deployment of Oracle applications in Azure is based on a "bring your own license" model. It's assumed you are properly licensed to use Oracle software and that you have a current support agreement in place with Oracle. Oracle has guaranteed license mobility from on-premises to Azure. See the Oracle-Azure [FAQ](https://www.oracle.com/cloud/technologies/oracle-azure-faq.html).
