Q: Is it possible to Deploy EBS Database on Cloud (PaaS) and Application Tier at On-Premise?
A: In order to understand the answer specific to Oracle, First of all, understand Oracle E-Business Suite Deployment Options on Oracle Cloud and Oracle Cloud Concepts

1. Oracle Cloud Service Models are a) Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), b) Platform as a Service (PaaS), c) Software as a Service (SaaS)
2. Oracle Database can be deployed on Cloud in Service Model as IaaS or PaaS
3. Oracle Database on Cloud from PaaS is called Database Cloud Service (DBCS)
4. Oracle Database Cloud Service (DBCS) has two offering a) Database as a Service (DBaaS) for Database Service on Virtual Machine and b) Exadata Cloud Service with Database Service on Exadata Machine
5. EBS(R12) consists of a) Application Tier & b) Database Tier
6. Oracle E-Business Suite (R12) Application Tier can be deployed on Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) only.
7. Oracle E-Business Suite (R12) Database Tier can be deployed either on A) Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) or B) Platform as a Service (PaaS)

Now to answer question answered by Trainee in Oracle Cloud Training, Technically you can deploy EBS R12 Application Tier On-Premise and EBS Database on Cloud provided below points are covered

1. Database Tier on Oracle Cloud must be on Infrastructure as a Service Offerings (It can’t be PaaS/DBCS)
2. Network latency should not be high, look at VPN option else you will hit timeout issues between Application Tier & Database Tier
3. Database Port should be open from the server hosting Application Tier to Machine hosting Database on Oracle Cloud

Now it’s your turn to post your answers in the comment section and let us know where you are facing challenges in EBS on Cloud
