Oracle Database@Google Cloud
6.4/10A jointly run Oracle and Google service that hosts Oracle Exadata, Autonomous AI, Base Database and GoldenGate in Google Cloud data centers, aimed at enterprises.
Data last updated November 2026 · Our methodology
Overview
Oracle Database@Google Cloud, now also branded Oracle AI Database@Google Cloud, places OCI Exadata hardware inside Google Cloud data centers. Customers can then run Oracle databases right next to Compute Engine, GKE and analytics services with low latency. The service includes Exadata Database Service on dedicated infrastructure, Exadata on Exascale Infrastructure, Base Database Service, Autonomous AI Database (including the Lakehouse variant) and GoldenGate replication. Resources are provisioned through the Google Cloud console, the gcloud CLI, a REST API or Terraform, and access is controlled with Google IAM. Customer-managed encryption keys can be held in Cloud KMS. It is a good fit for enterprises that already run large Oracle estates, have a Google Cloud commitment and want to move Oracle workloads without rewriting them. It also suits teams that want to feed Oracle data into BigQuery, Vertex AI or Gemini. You buy it through Google Cloud Marketplace. A public pay-as-you-go offer charges list prices for OCPU hours and storage. A private offer is negotiated directly with Oracle and can include term, committed-use or hardware-volume discounts. Exadata requires a private offer. Either way, the charges appear on the Google Cloud invoice. Neither Google's documentation nor the pages that opened for this research show unit prices, so buyers must get them from Oracle's price list or a quote. The service ran in 17 Google Cloud regions as of late 2026, but some services are offered only in some regions. The main limitation is operational complexity. Every deployment needs an OCI tenancy alongside the Google project. Some tasks, such as creating Exadata databases, still happen in the OCI console. Support is split between Oracle and Google. Licence compliance also stays with the customer.
Our Rating
Who Oracle Database@Google Cloud is best for
Best software for EnterpriseGood fit
It is built for large Oracle Exadata and RAC estates, and Exadata is sold through negotiated private offers tied to cloud commitments.
Mission-critical Oracle workloads, Data Guard disaster recovery and Cloud KMS key control suit regulated, transaction-heavy firms.
Database and infrastructure teams can manage Oracle resources with the Google console, gcloud, the API and Terraform, but they must also work in OCI.
Less suited
Exadata minimum costs and the dual OCI and Google setup make it disproportionate for small workloads.
It is aimed at existing Oracle Enterprise Edition customers, not new teams choosing a database.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Runs Exadata, Autonomous AI Database, Base Database and GoldenGate inside Google data centers, so Google-hosted apps reach Oracle data with low latency.
- Purchases go through Google Cloud Marketplace, and the charges appear on the existing Google Cloud invoice alongside other Google services.
- Resources can be provisioned with the Google console, gcloud CLI, REST API and Terraform, with Google IAM handling access.
- Footprint grew fast, from 4 launch regions in 2024 to 17 regions by late 2026, with cross-region Data Guard for disaster recovery.
- Security options include Cloud KMS-managed TDE encryption keys for Exadata, Exascale and Autonomous AI Database.
Cons
- No unit prices appear in Google's documentation, and Exadata can only be bought through a negotiated private offer.
- Every deployment needs an OCI tenancy, and some tasks, such as creating Exadata databases, must be done in the OCI console.
- Support is split: Oracle Cloud Support handles database issues and Google Cloud Customer Care handles the platform.
- Service coverage differs by region, and Turin and Querétaro offered only Exadata dedicated infrastructure as of late 2026.
- PeerSpot had no user reviews, so there is little independent customer feedback to judge the service by.
- A licensing consultancy says Oracle licence-audit exposure stays with the customer and that Standard Edition 2 is not supported.
