The Exadata Cloud Infrastructure Oracle-managed infrastructure maintenance now allows greater control and visibility including:

• Choice of rolling and non-rolling maintenance methods.
• Ability to perform custom actions before maintenance on each database server by having the automated maintenance wait before shutting down VMs until the maintenance is resumed or the configured timeout is reached.
• Visibility into the database server update order.
• Granular tracking of the maintenance progress at a component level.
