Customers running Oracle workloads on-premises can accelerate their cloud adoption by migrating their workloads to Azure. You have a choice to either lift and shift your Oracle workloads to Azure virtual machines or to Oracle Database@Azure. Additionally, you can also migrate to our Azure Database services like Azure SQL, Azure Database for PostgreSQL based on the requirements of your organization.

Customers have been migrating their Oracle databases, and enterprise applications such as Siebel, PeopleSoft, JD Edwards, E-Business Suite, or customized WebLogic server applications to Azure infrastructure as part of their cloud migration journey.
