Plan Compute Shape and Boot Volume Size

When you deploy Oracle Analytics Server on Oracle Cloud, you're offered a range of compute shapes to suit different scenarios. The larger the compute size (OCPUs and memory), the greater the processing power. You can also select the boot volume size. If you're not sure which sizes to use, contact your sales team to discuss sizing guidelines.

Compute Shape

Oracle Analytics Server can be Oracle Compute Unit (OCPU)-intensive depending on your application. To help you decide which compute size best suits your deployment, consider how many active users you expect to perform concurrent activities.

Oracle Analytics Server supports a range of compute shapes, including:

VM.Standard.2.*: The default shape is VM.Standard.2.1.
VM.Standard.E4.Flex and VM.Standard.E3.Flex: With these flexible shapes, you can customize the number of OCPUs and the amount of memory.

The exact list of shapes available to you depends on your region. For a description of the difference between VM Standard shapes and a discussion on how to decide which to use, see Standard Shapes.

Boot Volume Size

A boot volume contains the image used to boot the compute instance. Volume performance varies with volume size. The default boot volume for an Oracle Analytics Server compute instance is 400 GB, and this is the minimum size available. You can increase this value up to 32768 GB.

See Overview of Boot Volume.

All the requested boot volume space, beyond what is needed for the core Oracle Analytics Server binaries, is available under the Oracle Analytics Server folder /u01/data.
