Supported Shapes

A shape is a template that determines the number of CPUs, amount of memory, and other resources that are allocated to a DB system, a HeatWave cluster node, or a read replica.

Both the DB system and the HeatWave cluster have their own shape. Read replicas can have the same or different shape as compared to the DB system.

Each shape for the DB system or read replica is associated with a list of default configurations. The configuration contains a collection of variables that define the operations of the MySQL instance. There are two default configurations for most of the shapes:
  • Standalone: Optimized for standalone DB systems and read replicas.
  • HA: Optimized for highly available DB systems. See High Availability.
In HeatWave Service, you can choose from two categories of shapes:

ECPU Shapes

Provide a pricing metric based on ECPU (Elastic Central Processing Unit) that is architecture-agnostic. Allow HeatWave clusters to be attached to any DB system based on ECPU shapes.

Note

There is limited hardware availability for the MySQL.256 shape and customers should contact their Oracle sales representative for additional details. Customers who need help with provisioning and resolving issues with the MySQL.256 shape can contact Oracle Support.

All ECPU shapes support HeatWave Cluster.

OCPU Shapes

Provide architecture-specific shapes for DB systems, read replicas, and HeatWave clusters. Both AMD processors and Intel processors are available.

Note

All OCPU shapes are deprecated and are not available to new users created after Sept 5, 2024.

All OCPU shapes become unavailable after March 13, 2026; existing users cannot use OCPU shape in new DB systems or read replicas and cannot change existing DB systems or read replicas to use OCPU shapes.
