Reboot Migration and Changing the Shape for Dedicated Virtual Machine Host instances now available

We are thrilled to announce the general availability of two new features for Dedicated Virtual Machine Host instances.

• Reboot Migration
• Changing the Shape of an instance

Reboot Migration for Dedicated Virtual Machine Hosts is a cloud-native service that helps customers automatically migrate their virtual machine instances on a Dedicated Virtual Machine Host to another Dedicated Virtual Machine Host in a planned maintenance event. OCI also allows customers to kick off the reboot migration on-demand for their business needs (for example, load balancing or infrastructure changes). The migration process is automatic and requires no customer intervention.

Changing the Shape for a Dedicated Virtual Machine Host instance allows customers to change the shape of an instance without having to rebuild the instance or redeploy their business applications. This feature allows customers the ability to scale up their Compute resources for increased performance or to scale down to reduce costs.
