What's New in Autonomous Database - October Edition
We are continually adding new features and enhancements to Autonomous Database, and here are the latest updates along with information about the most recent new customer stories:
New Features
STRONGER PROTECTION FOR SENSITIVE DATA
NEW?ZERO TRUST PACKET ROUTING
Security for cloud workloads is a very hot topic. Customers are looking for the best ways to protect data from unauthorized access.
In collaboration with Applied Invention, Oracle proudly announces OCI Zero Trust Packet Routing (ZPR), pronounced “zipper.” ZPR is our first step to improving the separation between network architecture and security and making security expressible in an intent-focused language.
OCI ZPR is a user-friendly solution that empowers customers to define security intent by creating security policies in natural language and vocabulary, making it easier to restrict access to sensitive data through specific access pathways. Administrators write ZPR-based policies in their tenancy to ensure an ADB instance (on a PE) is only accessed by authorized users/resources.
Administrators can secure networks with Zero Trust Packet Routing in three steps:
1. Create and manage security attribute namespaces and security attributes
2. Write policies using security attributes to control access to resources
3. Apply security attributes to specified resources
Note: ZPR applies only for incoming connections when the instance is configured with a private endpoint

FASTER DATA LAKE QUERIES AND SIMPLER MANAGEMENT
NEW?IMPLICIT PARTITIONING FOR EXTERNAL TABLES
Implicit partitioning simplifies the process of creating and managing partitioned external tables into a single command.
Simpler Management
Consider a typical data lake scenario: an external table can be based on thousands of partitions and millions of files. With implicit partitioning, the set-up process is contained within one simple step, and lifecycle management is fully automated—no maintenance or refresh is needed. The partition layout is detected at runtime, i.e., as new files arrive, new partitions are automatically added. Using implicit partitioning guarantees that the data is always up to date at query runtime.
Faster Query Performance
Using implicitly partitioned tables significantly boosts performance because data pruning skips unnecessary partitions and data files.

MULTICLOUD AND HYBRID CLOUD SUPPORT FOR CUSTOMER-MANAGED KEYS
Multicloud/Hybrid Cloud Key Management
Many organizations have security policies that require the use of customer-managed encryption keys. Autonomous Database can be configured to use customer-managed keys for Transparent Data Encryption that reside in the following cloud and on-premise stores:
Zero-downtime rotation
When you rotate the customer-managed master encryption key, Autonomous Database generates a new TDE master key. It uses the new TDE master key to re-encrypt the tablespace encryption keys that encrypt and decrypt your data.?This operation is fast and does not require database downtime.
