AutoUpgrade 2.0: internals and new features
summary
AutoUpgrade 2.0 now patches and upgrades end-to-end (install Oracle Home, supply config, run deploy mode), adds refreshable clones that pre-copy data files and apply redo (example refresh interval 300s) so non‑CDB→PDB conversion requires only a short final outage, supports encrypted databases via an AutoUpgrade keystore or secure external password store, and uses distributed_upgrade=true to fan upgrades across RAC nodes—a 2‑node/8‑PDB benchmark cuts time by 41%—plus options like make_pdbs_available=true to publish PDBs as they finish.
