The new 'Clone DB system' feature works within the same region or across OCI regions, and optionally configures an inbound replication channel automatically — making it especially useful for Disaster Recovery warm standby setups. Key limitations include same-compartment requirement, storage size constraints, mandatory crash recovery on the source, and specific binlog_expire_logs_seconds minimums when replication is enabled. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
