Custom Database Software Image

Hi Team,

We across the article "Using Custom Database Software Images to Create, Patch, and Upgrade your Cloud Databases" and would like to better understand this feature in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).

Could someone please explain:

  1. What exactly is a Custom Database Software Image?
  2. In which scenarios should it be used instead of the standard Oracle-provided database images?
  3. How is it created and managed in OCI?
  4. How can it be used for:
    • Provisioning new DB Systems
    • Patching existing databases
    • Database upgrades
  5. What are the main benefits and limitations?
  6. Are there any real-world use cases where organizations prefer Custom Database Software Images over the default OCI database images?

Howdy, Stranger!
