    Summary of BYOL model of RDS for Oracle extension classes

    The CMDB CI Class Models app extends the Configuration Management Database (CMDB) class hierarchy to support the Bring-Your-Own-License (BYOL) model of Amazon RDS for Oracle. This ServiceNow Store app adds new and updated classes with detailed descriptions, identification rules, and relationships that integrate seamlessly with existing CMDB classes.

    These extensions enable ServiceNow applications such as Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns to effectively populate and manage configuration items (CIs) related to the BYOL deployment of Amazon RDS for Oracle databases. This enhances visibility and management of Oracle cloud database instances within the ServiceNow platform.

    Key Features

    • New and updated classes: The app introduces classes like cmdbciclouddatabase for cloud databases and cmdbciserverlesshardware for hardware details related to serverless databases.
    • Class extensions: These classes come with attributes such as identification rules and dependent relationships to ensure accurate CI representation.
    • Extended class columns:
      • cmdbciserverlesshardware includes columns for cloud vendor, host type (PaaS/IaaS), CPU core count, CPU threads, CPU count, and object ID.
      • cmdbciclouddatabase includes columns indicating multi-availability zone deployment, replication status, replication type, and replication source database name.
    • Integration with cloud licensing models: Supports the BYOL licensing model of Amazon RDS for Oracle, enabling differentiation from the License Included model.

    Key Outcomes

    • ServiceNow customers can accurately model and manage Amazon RDS for Oracle BYOL instances within their CMDB, reflecting cloud database configurations and serverless hardware attributes.
    • Enhanced discovery and service mapping capabilities for Oracle cloud databases improve operational insight and help maintain accurate asset and service inventories.
    • Enables better license tracking and compliance management by distinguishing BYOL deployments in the CMDB.

    The CMDB CI Class Models app adds or updates classes for the BYOL Model of RDS for Oracle.

    CMDB CI Class Models is a ServiceNow Store app that adds class models that extend the CMDB class hierarchy. The new or updated classes include class descriptions, identification rules, identifier entries, and, if applicable, dependent relationships. You can use the added classes just like any other CMDB class. Applications such as Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns can use the class extensions to populate CIs and discover technologies and software.

    See the release notes for all CMDB CI class models.

    BYOL Model of RDS for Oracle

    The Amazon RDS for Oracle is a fully managed commercial database that makes it easy to set up, operate, and scale Oracle deployments in the cloud. You can run Amazon RDS for Oracle in one of two different licensing models: “License Included” and “Bring-Your-Own-License (BYOL)“. In the “License Included” service model, you do not need separately purchased Oracle licenses; the Oracle Database software has been licensed by AWS.

    The base system supports discovery of the RDS Databases and their licenses.
