This week, Amazon goes multi-region with infrastructure deployment, Azure makes several improvements to VM backups and Oracle Unified Directory gets certified for Oracle E-Business Suite.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Amazon<\/strong> announced a new <strong>M<\/strong><strong>ulti-Region Infrastructure Deployment<\/strong> solution, which makes it easier to set up multi-region architectures, support controlled updates and maintain consistency of workloads. This solution automatically provisions and configures AWS CodePipeline to automate the continuous integration\/continuous delivery (CI\/CD) pipeline for validating and deploying AWS CloudFormation templates into a primary and secondary region. With the many native AWS features provided through this solution, IT teams can automate building architectures cross-region that are robust and simple for developers to deploy to and manage.

These capabilities enable the conversion of virtual machine disks that were previously not managed by Azure&#8217;s Backup, which can improve the protection of those workloads. These are important updates because they improve Azure&#8217;s standing as a viable public cloud option for organizations concerned with managing backups in their own solution.

Customers now have the option of using Oracle Internet Directory (OID) or OUD for their SSO requirements. OUD provides a more future-proof and feature-rich alternative to eBS users currently using OID, or who are considering moving to an SSO setup with Oracle Access Manager.
