Şeytan kelimesi, uzaklaşmak anlamına gelen “şe-tane” kelimesinden türetilmiş ve Allâh (c.c.)'un rahmetinden uzak olduğu için iblise kötü bir isim olarak verilmiştir. İtaat eden kişi ise, Allâh (c.c.)'a yakındır. Cenâb-ı Hâkk şöyle buyurmuştur: “Secde et yaklaş.” (Alak s. 19) Allâh (c.c.) da sana yakındır. Bu hususta şöyle buyurmuştur: “Kullarım (Habîbim) sana beni sorunca haber ver ki işte ben muhakkak yakınımdır.” (Bakara s. 86) “Racim” kelimesine gelince, lânet ve bahtsızlık okuyla vurulmuş olması manasında, mercûm (lânetlenmiş, taşlanmış) demektir. Sana gelince, ey mü'min, sen mutluluk ipine tutunmuşsun. Nitekim Cenâb-ı Hâkk şöyle buyurur: “…onları “takva” sözü üzerinde durdurdu.” (Fetih s. 26) Bu, Cenâb-ı Hâkk'ın, şeytanı kendisinden uzaklaştırdığı ve kovduğuna, seni de kendisine yakın kıldığına delalet etmektedir. Sonra Cenâb-ı Hâkk uzaklaştırdığı şeytanı, kendisine yaklaştırmayacağını haber vermiştir. Zira O (c.c.), şöyle buyurmuştur: “Hayır, sen Allâh'ın kanununda asla bir değişiklik bulamazsın.” (Fatır s. 43) Böylece Cenâb-ı Hâkk seni kendisine yakın kılınca, seni kovmayacağını ve seni rahmetinden uzaklaştırmayacağını bildirmiş olmaktadır. “Şeytan” bir isimdir; “Racîm” ise sıfattır. Allâhü Teâlâ, sadece isimle yetinmemiş, onun sıfatını da zikretmiştir. Böylece Allâh (c.c.) sanki şöyle demekte: “Bu şeytan binlerce yıl bizim hizmetimizde bulundu. Sen, hiç onun bize zarar verdiğini ya da bize kötülüğü dokunacak bir iş yaptığını duydun mu? Bununla birlikte biz onu lânetledik, hatta huzurumuzdan tard ettik. Sana gelince, bu şeytan seninle bir an otursa, seni ebedî ateşe atar. Öyleyse niçin onu kovmak ve lânetlemekle meşgul olmuyorsun. O halde haydi “Euzü billahi mine'ş-şeytani'r-racim” de. (Fahruddîn Er-Râzî, Tefsîr-i Kebîr Mefâtîhu'l-Ğayb, c.1, s.127-128)

During this series of informative podcasts, we'll bring you foundational training on the most popular Oracle technologies. Let's get started! 00:26 Nikita: Welcome to the Oracle University Podcast! I'm Nikita Abraham, Team Lead: Editorial Services with Oracle University, and with me is Lois Houston, Director of Communications and Adoption with Customer Success Services. Lois: Hello again! We're continuing our discussion on Oracle Database@AWS and in today's episode, we're going to talk about the aspects of security and migration with two special guests: Samvit Mishra and Rashmi Panda. Samvit is a Senior Manager and Rashmi is a Senior Principal Database Instructor. 00:59 Nikita: Hi Samvit and Rashmi! Samvit, let's begin with you. What are the recommended security best practices and data protection mechanisms for Oracle Database@AWS? Samvit: Instead of everyone using the root account, which has full access, we create individual users with AWS, IAM, Identity Center, or IAM service. And in addition, you must use multi-factor authentication. So basically, as an example, you need a password and a temporary code from virtual MFA app to log in to the console. Always use SSL or TLS to communicate with AWS services. This ensures data in transit is encrypted. Without TLS, the sensitive information like credentials or database queries can be intercepted. AWS CloudTrail records every action taken in your AWS account-- who did what, when, and from where. This helps with audit, troubleshooting, and detecting suspicious activity. So you must set up API and user activity logging with AWS CloudTrail. Use AWS encryption solutions along with all default security controls within AWS services. To store and manage keys by using transparent data encryption, which is enabled by default, Oracle Database@AWS uses OCI vaults. Currently, Oracle Database@AWS doesn't support the AWS Key Management Service. You should also use advanced managed security services such as Amazon Macie, which assists in discovering and securing sensitive data that is stored in Amazon S3. 03:08 Lois: And how does Oracle Database@AWS deliver strong security and compliance? Samvit: Oracle Database@AWS enforces transparent data encryption for all data at REST, ensuring stored information is always protected. Data in transit is secured using SSL and Native Network Encryption, providing end-to-end confidentiality. Oracle Database@AWS also uses OCI Vault for centralized and secure key management. This allows organizations to manage encryption keys with fine-grained control, rotation policies, and audit capabilities to ensure compliance with regulatory standards. At the database level, Oracle Database@AWS supports unified auditing and fine-grained auditing to track user activity and sensitive operations. At the resource level, AWS CloudTrail and OCI audit service provide comprehensive visibility into API calls and configuration changes. At the database level, security is enforced using database access control lists and Database Firewall to restrict unauthorized connections. At the VPC level, network ACLs and security groups provide layered network isolation and access control. Again, at the database level, Oracle Database@AWS enforces access controls to Database Vault, Virtual Private Database, and row-level security to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive data. And at a resource level, AWS IAM policies, groups, and roles manage user permissions with the fine-grained control. 05:27 Lois Samvit, what steps should users be taking to keep their databases secure? Samvit: Security is not a single feature but a layered approach covering user access, permissions, encryption, patching, and monitoring. The first step is controlling who can access your database and how they connect. At the user level, strong password policies ensure only authorized users can login. And at the network level, private subnets and network security group allow you to isolate database traffic and restrict access to trusted applications only. One of the most critical risks is accidental or unauthorized deletion of database resources. To mitigate this, grant delete permissions only to a minimal set of administrators. This reduces the risk of downtime caused by human error or malicious activity. Encryption ensures that even if the data is exposed, it cannot be read. By default, all databases in OCI are encrypted using transparent data encryption. For migrated databases, you must verify encryption is enabled and active. Best practice is to rotate the transparent data encryption master key every 90 days or less to maintain compliance and limit exposure in case of key compromise. Unpatched databases are one of the most common entry points for attackers. Always apply Oracle critical patch updates on schedule. This mitigates known vulnerabilities and ensures your environment remains protected against emerging threats. 07:33 Nikita: Beyond what users can do, are there any built-in features or tools from Oracle that really help with database security? Samvit: Beyond the basics, Oracle provides powerful database security tools. Features like data masking allow you to protect sensitive information in non-production environments. Auditing helps you monitor database activity and detect anomalies or unauthorized access. Oracle Data Safe is a managed service that takes database security to the next level. It can access your database configuration for weaknesses. It can also detect risky user accounts and privileges, identify and classify sensitive data. It can also implement controls such as masking to protect that data. And it can also continuously audit user activity to ensure compliance and accountability. Now, transparent data encryption enables you to encrypt sensitive data that you store in tables and tablespaces. It also enables you to encrypt database backups. After the data is encrypted, this data is transparently decrypted for authorized users or applications when they access that data. You can configure OCI Vault as a part of the transparent data encryption implementation. This enables you to centrally manage keystore in your enterprise. So OCI Vault gives centralized control over encryption keys, including key rotation and customer managed keys. 09:23 Lois: So obviously, lots of companies have to follow strict regulations. How does Oracle Database@AWS help customers with compliance? Samvit: Oracle Database@AWS has achieved a broad and rigorous set of compliance certifications. The service supports SOC 1, SOC 2, and SOC 3, as well as HIPAA for health care data protection. If we talk about SOC 1, that basically covers internal controls for financial statements and reporting. SOC 2 covers internal controls for security, confidentiality, processing integrity, privacy, and availability. SOC 3 covers SOC 2 results tailored for a general audience. And HIPAA is a federal law that protects patients' health information and ensures its confidentiality, integrity, and availability. It also holds certifications and attestations such as CSA STAR, C5. Now C5 is a German government standard that verifies cloud providers meet strict security and compliance requirements. CSA STAR attestation is an independent third-party audit of cloud security controls. CSA STAR certification also validates a cloud provider's security posture against CSA's cloud controls matrix. And HDS is a French certification that ensures cloud providers meet stringent requirements for hosting and protecting health care data. Oracle Database@AWS also holds ISO and IEC standards. You can also see PCI DSS, which is basically for payment card security and HITRUST, which is for high assurance health care framework. So, these certifications ensure that Oracle Database@AWS not only adheres to best practices in security and privacy, but also provides customers with assurance that their workloads align with globally recognized compliance regimes. 11:47 Nikita: Thank you, Samvit. Now Rashmi, can you walk us through Oracle's migration solution that helps teams move to OCI Database Services? Rashmi: Oracle Zero-Downtime Migration is a robust and flexible end-to-end database migration solution that can completely automate and streamline the migration of Oracle databases. With bare minimum inputs from you, it can orchestrate and execute the entire migration task, virtually needing no manual effort from you. And the best part is you can use this tool for free to migrate your source Oracle databases to OCI Oracle Database Services faster and reliably, eliminating the chances of human errors. You can migrate individual databases or migrate an entire fleet of databases in parallel. 12:34 Nikita: Ok. For someone planning a migration with ZDM, are there any key points they should keep in mind? Rashmi: When migrating using ZDM, your source databases may require minimal downtime up to 15 minutes or no downtime at all, depending upon the scenario. It is built with the principles of Oracle maximum availability architecture and leverages technologies like Oracle GoldenGate and Oracle Data Guard to achieve high availability and online migration workflow using Oracle migration methods like RMAN, Data Pump, and Database Links. Depending on the migration requirement, ZDM provides different migration method options. It can be logical or physical migration in an online or offline mode. Under the hood, it utilizes the different database migration technologies to perform the migration. 13:23 Lois: Can you give us an example of this? Rashmi: When you are migrating a mission critical production database, you can use the logical online migration method. And when you are migrating a development database, you can simply choose the physical offline migration method. As part of the migration job, you can perform database upgrades or convert your database to multitenant architecture. ZDM offers greater flexibility and automation in performing the database migration. You can customize workflow by adding pre or postrun scripts as part of the workflow. Run prechecks to check for possible failures that may arise during migration and fix them. Audit migration jobs activity and user actions. Control the execution like schedule a job pause, resume, if needed, suspend and resume the job, schedule the job or terminate a running job. You can even rerun a job from failure point and other such capabilities. 14:13 Lois: And what kind of migration scenarios does ZDM support? Rashmi: The minimum version of your source Oracle Database must be 11.2.0.4 and above. For lower versions, you will have to first upgrade to at least 11.2.0.4. You can migrate Oracle databases that may be of the Standard or Enterprise edition. ZDM supports migration of Oracle databases, which may be a single-instance, or RAC One Node, or RAC databases. It can migrate on Unix platforms like Linux, Oracle Solaris, and AIX. For Oracle databases on AIX and Oracle Solaris platform, ZDM uses logical migration method. But if the source platform is Linux, it can use both physical and logical migration method. You can use ZDM to migrate databases that may be on premises, or in third-party cloud, or even within Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. ZDM leverages Oracle technologies like RMAN datacom, Database Links, Data Guard, Oracle GoldenGate when choosing a specific migration workflow. 15:15 Are you ready to revolutionize the way you work?

Start learning today at mylearn.oracle.com. 15:35 Nikita: Welcome back! Rashmi, before someone starts using ZDM, is there any prep work they should do or things they need to set up first? Rashmi: Working with ZDM needs few simple configuration. Zero-downtime migration provides a command line interface to run your migration job. First, you have to download the ZDM binary, preferably download from my Oracle Support, where you can get the binary with the latest updates. Set up and configure the binary by following the instructions available at the same invoice node. The host in which ZDM is installed and configured is called the zero-downtime migration service host. The host has to be Oracle Linux version 7 or 8, or it can be RCL 8. Next is the orchestration step where connection to the source and target is configured and tested like SSH configuration with source and target, opening the ports in respective destinations, creation of dump destination, granting required database privileges. Prepare the response file with parameter values that define the workflow that ZDM should use during Oracle Database migration. You can also customize the migration workflow using the response file. You can plug in run scripts to be executed before or after a specific phase of the migration job. These customizations are called custom plugins with user actions. Your sources may be hosted on-premises or OCI-managed database services, or even third-party cloud. They may be Oracle Database Standard or Enterprise edition and on accelerator infrastructure or a standard compute. The target can be of the same type as the source. But additionally, ZDM supports migration to multicloud deployments on Oracle Database@Azure, Oracle Database@Google Cloud, and Oracle Database@AWS. You begin with a migration strategy where you list the different databases that can be migrated, classification of the databases, grouping them, performing three migration checks like dependencies, downtime requirement versions, and preparing the order migration, the target migration environment, et cetera. 17:27 Lois: What migration methods and technologies does ZDM rely on to complete the move? Rashmi: There are primarily two types of migration: physical or logical. Physical migration pertains to copy of the database OS blocks to the target database, whereas in logical migration, it involves copying of the logical elements of the database like metadata and data. Each of these migration methods can be executed when the database is online or offline. In online mode, migration is performed simultaneously while the changes are in progress in the source database. While in offline mode, all changes to the source database is frozen. For physical offline migration, it uses backup and restore technique, while with the physical online, it creates a physical standby using backup and restore, and then performing a switchover once the standby is in sync with the source database. For logical offline migration, it exports and imports database metadata and data into the target database, while in logical online migration, it is a combination of export and import operation, followed by apply of incremental updates from the source to the target database. The physical or logical offline migration method is used when the source database of the application can allow some downtime for the migration. The physical or logical online migration approach is ideal for scenarios where any downtime for the source database can badly affect critical applications. The only downtime that can be tolerated by the application is only during the application connection switchover to the migrated database. One other advantage is ZDM can migrate one or a fleet of Oracle databases by executing multiple jobs in parallel, where each job workflow can be customized to a specific database need. It can perform physical or logical migration of your Oracle databases. And whether it should be performed online or offline depends on the downtime that can be approved by business. 19:13 Nikita: Samvit and Rashmi, thanks for joining us today.

If you've ever wondered how Oracle Database really works inside AWS, this episode will finally turn the lights on. Join Senior Principal OCI Instructor Susan Jang as she explains the two database services available (Exadata Database Service and Autonomous Database), how Oracle and AWS share responsibilities behind the scenes, and which essential tasks still land on your plate after deployment. You'll discover how automation, scaling, and security actually work, and which model best fits your needs, whether you want hands-off simplicity or deeper control.

During this series of informative podcasts, we'll bring you foundational training on the most popular Oracle technologies. Let's get started! 00:26 Lois: Hello and welcome to the Oracle University Podcast! I'm Lois Houston, Director of Communications and Adoption with Customer Success Services, and with me is Nikita Abraham, Team Lead: Editorial Services with Oracle University. Nikita: Hi everyone! In our last episode, we began the discussion on Oracle Database@AWS. Today, we're diving deeper into the database services that are available in this environment. Susan Jang, our Senior Principal OCI Instructor, joins us once again. 00:56 Lois: Hi Susan! Thanks for being here today. In our last conversation, we compared Oracle Autonomous Database and Exadata Database Service. Can you elaborate on the fundamental differences between these two services? Susan: Now, the primary difference is between the service is really the management model. The Autonomous is fully-managed by Oracle, while the Exadata provides flexibility for you to have the ability to customize your database environment while still having the infrastructure be managed by Oracle. 01:30 Nikita: When it comes to running Oracle Database@AWS, how do Oracle and AWS each chip in? Could you break down what each provider is responsible for in this setup? Susan: Oracle Database@AWS is a collaboration between Oracle, as well as AWS. It allows the customer to deploy and run Oracle Database services, including the Oracle Autonomous Database and the Oracle Exadata Database Service directly in AWS data centers. Oracle provides the ability of having the Oracle Exadata Database Service on a dedicated infrastructure. This service delivers full capabilities of Oracle Exadata Database on the Oracle Exadata hardware. It offers high performance and high security for demanding workloads. It has cloud automation, resource scaling, and performance optimization to simplify the management of the service. Oracle Autonomous Database on the dedicated Exadata infrastructure provides a fully Autonomous Database on this dedicated infrastructure within AWS. It automates the database management tasks, including patching, backups, as well as tuning, and have built-in AI capabilities for developing AI-powered applications and interacting with data using natural language. The Oracle Database@AWS integrates those core database services with various AWS services for a comprehensive unified experience. AWS provides the ability of having a cloud-based object storage, and that would be the Amazon S3. You also have the ability to have other services, such as the Amazon CloudWatch. It monitors the database metrics, as well as performance. You also have Amazon Bedrock. It provides a development environment for a generative AI application. And last but not the least, amongst the many other services, you also have the SageMaker. This is a cloud-based platform for development of machine learning models, a wonderful integration with our AI application development needs. 03:54 Lois: How has the work involved in setting up and managing databases changed over time? Susan: When we take a look at the evolution of how things have changed through the years in our systems, we realize that transfer responsibility has now been migrated more from customer or human interaction to services. As the database technology evolves from the traditional on-premise system to the Exadata engineered system, and finally to the Autonomous Database, certain services previously requiring significant manual intervention has become increasingly automated, as well as optimized. 04:34 Lois: How so? Susan: When we take a look at the more traditional database environment, it requires manual configuration of hardware, operating system, as well as the software of the database, along with initial database creation. As we evolve into the Exadata environment, the Exadata Database, specifically the Exadata cloud service, simplifies provisioning through web-based wizard, making it faster and easier to deploy the Oracle Database in an optimized hardware. But when we move it to an Autonomous environment, it automates the entire provisioning process, allowing users to rapidly deploy mission-critical databases without manual intervention, or DBA involvement. So as customers move toward Autonomous Database through Exadata, we have fewer components that the customer needs to manage in the database stack, which gives them more time to focus more on important parts of the business. With the Exadata Database, it provides a co-management of backup, restore, patches and upgrade, monitoring, and tuning. And it allows the administrator the ability to customize the configuration to meet their very specific business needs. With Autonomous Database, it's now fully automated and it's a greater responsibility is shift toward the service. With Autonomous Database on dedicated infrastructure, it provides that fine-grained tuning more for Oracle to help you perform that task. 06:15 Nikita: If we narrow it down just to Oracle and AWS for a moment, which parts of the infrastructure or day-to-day ops are handled by each company behind the scenes? Susan: When we take a look at Oracle Database@AWS, it operates under a shared responsibility model, dividing the service responsibilities between AWS, as well as Oracle, as well as you, the customer. The AWS has the data center. Remember, this is where everything is running. The Oracle Database@AWS, the Oracle Database infrastructure may be managed by Oracle and run in OCI, but is physically located within the AWS regions, as well as the availability zones and the AWS data centers. The AWS infrastructure, in this case, is AWS's responsibility to secure the environment, including the physical security of the data center, the network infrastructure, and the foundational services like the compute, the storage, and the networking, all within AWS. The next thing of who's responsible for the shared responsibility, it's Oracle. And that would be the hardware. We provide the hardware. While the hardware may physically reside in the AWS data center, Oracle's Cloud Infrastructure operational team will be the one managing this infrastructure, including software patching, infrastructure update, and other operations through a connection to OCI. This means Oracle handles the provisioning, as well as the maintenance of any of the underlying Exadata infrastructure hardware. When we take a look at the next thing that it manages, it is also responsible besides the infrastructure of the Exadata. It is also the ability to manage the hardware, the environment of that hardware through the database control plane. So Oracle manages the administration and the operational for the Oracle Database@AWS service, which resides in OCI. So this includes the capabilities for management, upgrade, and operational features. 08:37 Nikita: And what are the key things that still remain on the customer's plate? Susan: If you are in an Exadata environment or in an Autonomous environment, it is you, the customer, who is responsible for most of the database administration operation, as well as managing the users and the privileges of the user to access the database. No one knows the database and who should be accessing the data better than you. You will be responsible for securing the applications, the data of the database, which now allows you to define who has access to it, control the data encryption, and securing the application that interacts with the Oracle Database@AWS. 09:29 Lois: Susan, we've talked about both Autonomous Database and Exadata Database Service being available on Oracle Database@AWS, but what's different about how each works in this environment, and why might someone pick one over the other? Susan: Both databases, even though they run on the same Exadata Cloud Infrastructure, both can be deployed on both public cloud, as well as the customer data center, which is Oracle Cloud@Customer. The Autonomous Database is a fully managed, completely automated environment. And this provides a capability of having a fully Autonomous Database Service running on a dedicated Oracle Exadata Infrastructure within your AWS data center. The Exadata is a service that is provided and managed by Oracle and is physically running in the AWS data center, but is designed for mission critical workload and includes RAC environment, Real Application Cluster, offering a high performance availability and full feature capability that is similar to other Exadata environment, such as those running in our customers' data center. The primary difference is really between the two services. When you take a look at the Exadata, the customer only pays for the compute resources that is used. Autoscaling can be used for a variety or variable resources, the workload, to automatically scale to the compute resources up or down when required. The Autonomous Database also has automatic optimization for data warehousing, transaction processing, as well as JSON workload. The Exadata service, the customer again, also pays for the compute resources that they allocate. But that's the key thing. The customer can initiate the scaling because it's very specific to the workload that is needed. So when you take a look at the two database services, one gives the ability to let Oracle fully manage it, including the scaling capability. The other, the Exadata, provides you the capability of having the environment that it's running on the infrastructure be managed by Oracle that adds a database administrator. You may wish to have a little bit more granular control of how you want the database to not only be scaling, but how you wish to customize how the database will be running. 12:10 Nikita: Focusing on Autonomous Database for a moment, what should teams know about how it actually runs within AWS? Susan: The Autonomous Database on the Oracle Database@AWS brings the power of the Oracle's self-managing, self-securing, and self-repairing database into your AWS environment. It provides the capability of the database automatically, automates many of the traditional, complex, and time-consuming database management tasks, such as the provisioning of the database, the patching, the backing up, and the scaling, and the performance tuning, reducing the need for any manual intervention by the database administrator. Running the Autonomous Database in your AWS region enables low latency access for your AWS applications and services that is deployed within AWS, thus improving performance and response time. With the Autonomous Database, it automates many of the traditional things that is now automatically done by Oracle. It also supports integration with various AWS services, such as the ability of the not in addition to AIM, but the cloud formation, the CloudWatch for monitoring and the S3 for the storage. You can easily migrate existing Exadata workload, including those running on Oracle RAC to AWS with minimum or no change to any of your databases or applications. In addition, there's a really powerful capability and feature of the database is called zero ETL, and that's zero extract, transformation, and load. It's an integration capability with services like your Amazon Redshift, enabling near real time analytics and machine learning on your transactional database that is stored within the Autonomous Database on in your AWS environment. So with the Autonomous Database, it checks off many of the boxes for automatic capability, securing, tuning, as well as scaling the database. With the Autonomous Database in the Dedicated Exadata Infrastructure, the Exadata Cloud Infrastructure resource represents the physical system, which can be expanded with storage, as well as compute services, the compute host. This now provides the ability to have an isolated zone for the highest protection from other tenants. The data is stored on a dedicated server only for one customer. That would be you. 14:56 Lois: Could you explain the role of Autonomous VM? What are its primary benefits? Susan: The virtual machine or as we refer to them as the cluster, includes the grid infrastructure and provides a private network isolation. This provides you the capability of having custom memory, core, and storage allocation. The Oracle Grid Infrastructure includes the Oracle Clusterware, which manages the cluster, as well as the servers, and ensure that the database can failover to another server in case of any failure. 15:34 Be a part of something big by joining the Oracle University Learning Community! Connect with over 3 million members, including Oracle experts and fellow learners. Engage in topical forums, share your knowledge, and celebrate your achievements together. Discover the community today at mylearn.oracle.com. 15:55 Nikita: Welcome back! Susan, what is the Autonomous Container Database? Susan: With the Autonomous Container Database, and you need that if you're going to create an Autonomous Database, you need to provision that within your Autonomous Exadata VM Cluster. It serves as a container to hold or to house one or more Autonomous Databases. This allows multiple Autonomous Databases to coexist in the same infrastructure while still being logically separated. And this allows for the separation of databases based on their intended use. Think of a database for production. Think of a database for development. Think of a database for testing. You may have different database versions within the same infrastructure. This isolation makes it easier for you to be able to meet your SLA, your Service Level Agreement, any long-term backups you may have, very specific encryption key needs to prevent issues from one database impacting another. So, the ability to have everything be isolated and secure is still grouping it in a manner that will meet your business needs. 17:08 Lois: Looking at Exadata Database Service specifically, what are some standout advantages for customers who deploy it on Oracle Database@AWS? Is there anything in particular they should get excited about in terms of performance or integration with AWS? Susan: The Exadata Database Service is running on a dedicated Exadata Infrastructure that's deployed within your AWS data center. It delivers the same Exadata service experience in cloud control planes as the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, allowing you to leverage existing skills and processing across your multi-cloud environment. It addresses the data resiliency, or residency rather. And that's the scenario where many of our customers has the need. You have a need because of your security compliance to have the data local to you. By having the Exadata Database in your Oracle Database@AWS, it is running in your data center. So, this addresses that very important need, data residency, to have it close to you. It also allows for seamless integration with other AWS services and applications. So now you have a capability of a hybrid cloud architecture leveraging the benefit of both Oracle Exadata and your AWS system. It has built-in high availability, the RAC application cluster, as well as Data Guard, a capability of addressing disaster recovery capability. This also provides the ability for you to scale your compute, as well as your storage and your I/O resources independently. So as mentioned with Exadata, you have flexibility of how you want your database to be running individually. So just like the Autonomous, the Exadata Database checks off many of the boxes for running a mission-critical with high availability, highly redundant hardware and software features, along with extreme performance, scalability, and reliability. This now allows you to run your AI environment, your online transaction processing, your analytic workload on any scale on the Exadata Infrastructure running in the Oracle Cloud. And in this case, running in your data center. 19:45 Nikita: If a business suddenly needs more capacity, how does scaling work with Exadata Database Service versus Autonomous Database on Oracle Database@AWS? Susan: So with the Exadata scaling, you now can scale to meet expected demands so you know at certain point I will need more. I will then ask it to scale at that point when I will assign it-- and I'm using an example, I will assign it three computer cores all the time. But there may be demands. Think of your end of the quarter, end of the year processing that you may need more. So, you are enabling the compute cores to scale at the time you need it. And what's cool is it will then, when it's no longer needed, it will then scale back down to the original three cores that you assign. So, you only pay for the enabled cores. But what's very cool about the Autonomous is that it is real-time scaling. So, with Autonomous, now you have the capability using Autonomous Database since it is self-tuning, self-monitoring, the Autonomous Database actually monitors the workload requirement and scales to match the workload demand. Once the minimum level of the compute is defined and enabled, the automatic scaling is set. Autonomous Database will adjust to the consumption when it's needed, and it will scale back down when it's not. So though the Exadata is pretty cool, it will scale up and down on the workload demand. This is with the Autonomous is even more powerful. It is real-time scaling based on that usage at that moment. Built-in automatic increase to meet the workload demands when it spikes and it automatically scales back when it's not needed. A very powerful capability with all of our Oracle databases, the ability, even with traditional, to allow you to define what you may need with Exadata scaling for peak demands, as well as Autonomous scaling for real-time consumption and scaling when needed. When you look at all of our options, one of the key things to bear in mind is a phrase that we use: performance scale as more servers are added. And what this is really saying is Oracle's automated scaling ability for the database, it basically has the ability to maintain or improve its performance under increased workload by automatically adding computational resources when needed. This process is also known as horizontal scaling. It involves adding more servers, compute instances, to a cluster to share the processing load. And it has that capability automatically. 22:53 Nikita: There's so much more we can discuss about Oracle Database@AWS, but let's pause here for today! Thank you so much Susan for joining us.

During this series of informative podcasts, we'll bring you foundational training on the most popular Oracle technologies. Let's get started! 00:26 Nikita: Welcome to the Oracle University Podcast! I'm Nikita Abraham, Team Lead: Editorial Services with Oracle University, and with me is Lois Houston, Director of Communications and Adoption with Customer Success Services. Lois: Hi there! Last week, we talked about multicloud and the partnerships Oracle has with Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and Amazon Web Services. If you missed that episode, do listen to it as it sets the foundation for today's discussion, which is going to be about Oracle Database@AWS. 00:59 Nikita: That's right. And we're joined by Susan Jang, a Senior Principal OCI Instructor. Susan, thanks for being here. To start us off, what is Oracle Database@AWS? Susan: Oracle Database@AWS is a service that allows Oracle Exadata infrastructure that is managed by Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, or OCI, to run directly inside an AWS data center. 01:25 Lois: Susan, can you go through the key architecture components and networking relationships involved in this? Susan: The AWS Cloud is the Amazon Web Service. It's a cloud computing platform. The AWS region is a distinct, isolated geographic location with multiple physically separated data center, also known as availability zone. The availability zone is really a physically isolated data center with its own independent power, cooling, and network connectivity. When we speak of the AWS data center, it's a highly secured, specialized physical facility that houses the computing storage, the compute servers, the storage server, and the networking equipment. The VPC, the Virtual Private Cloud, is a logical, isolated virtual network. The AWS ODB network is a private user-created network that connects the virtual private cloud network of Amazon resources with an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Exadata system. This is all within an AWS data center. The AWS-ADB peering is really an established private network connection that's between the Oracle VPC, the Virtual Private Cloud, and the Oracle Database@AWS network. And that would be the ODB. Within the AWS data center, you have something that you see called the child site. Now, an OCI child site is really a physical data center that is managed by Oracle within the AWS data center. It's a seamless extension of the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. The site is hosting the Exadata infrastructure that's running the Oracle databases. The Oracle Database@AWS service brings the power as well as the performance of an Oracle Exadata infrastructure that is managed by Oracle Cloud Infrastructure to run directly in an AWS data center. 03:57 Nikita: So essentially, Oracle Database@AWS lets you to run your mission-critical Oracle data load close to your AWS application, while keeping management simple. Susan, what advantages does Oracle Database@AWS bring to the table? Susan: Oracle Database@AWS offers a powerful and flexible solution for running Oracle workloads natively within AWS. Oracle Database@AWS streamlines the process of moving your existing Oracle Database to AWS, making migration faster as well as easier. You get direct, low latency connectivity between your application and Oracle databases, ensuring a high performance for your mission-critical workloads. Billing, resource management, and operational tasks are unified, allowing you to manage everything through similar tools with reduce complexity. And finally, Oracle Database@AWS is designed to integrate smoothly with your AWS environments' workloads, making it so much easier to build, deploy, and scale your solutions. 05:15 Lois: You mentioned the OCI child site earlier. What part does it play in how Oracle Database@AWS works? Susan: The OCI child site really gives you the capability to combine the physical proximity and resources of AWS with the logical management and the capability of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. This integrated approach allows us to enable the ability for you to run and manage your Oracle databases seamlessly in your AWS environment while still leveraging the power of OCI, our Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. 06:03 Did you know that Oracle University offers free courses on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure for subscribers! Whether you're interested in multicloud, databases, networking, security, AI, or machine learning, there's something for everyone. So, what are you waiting for? Pick your topic and get started by visiting mylearn.oracle.com. 06:29 Nikita: Welcome back! Susan, I'm curious about the Exadata infrastructure inside AWS. What does that setup look like? Susan: The Exadata Infrastructure consists of physical database, as well as storage servers. That is deployed-- the database and the storage servers are interconnected using a high-speed, low-latency network fiber, ensuring optimal performance and reliable data transfer. Each of the database server runs one or more Virtual Machines, or VMs, as we refer to them, providing flexible compute resources for different workloads. You can create, as well as manage your virtual machine, your VM clusters in this infrastructure using various methods. Your AWS console, Command-Line Interface, CLI, or Application Program Interface, that's your API, giving you various options, several options for automating, as well as integrating your existing tools. When you're creating your Exadata Infrastructure, there are a few things you need to define and set up. You need to define the total number of your database servers, the total number of your storage server, the model of your Exadata system, as well as the availability zone where all these resources will be deployed. This architecture delivers a high-performance resiliency and flexible management capability for running your Oracle Database on AWS. 08:18 Lois: Susan, can you explain the network architecture for Oracle Database deployments on AWS? Susan: The ODB network is an isolated network within the AWS that is designed specifically for Exadata deployments. It includes both the client, as well as the backup subnet, which are essential for securing and efficient database operations. When you create your Exadata Infrastructure, you need to specify the ODB network as you need the connectivity. This network is mapped directly to the corresponding network in the OCI child site. This will enable seamless communication between AWS, as well as the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. The ODB network requires two separate CIDR ranges. And in addition, the client subnet is used for the Exadata VM cluster, providing connectivity for database operations. Well, you do also have another subnet. And that subnet is the backup subnet. And it's used to manage database backups of those VM cluster, ensuring not only data protection, but also data recovery. Within your AWS region and availability zone, the ODB network contains these dedicated client, as well as backup subnet. It basically isolates the Exadata traffic for both the day-to-day access, and that would be for the client, as well as the backup operations, and that would be for the backup subnet. This network design supports secure, high performance, and connectivity in a reliable backup management of the Oracle Database deployments that is running on AWS. 10:23 Nikita: Since we're on the topic of networking, can you tell us about ODB peering within the Oracle Database architecture? Susan: The ODB peering establishes a secure private connection between your AWS Virtual Private Cloud, your VPC, then the Oracle Database, the ODB network that contains your Exadata Infrastructure. This connection makes it possible for application servers that's running in your VPC, such as your Amazon EC2 instances to access your Oracle databases that is being hosted on Exadata within your ODB network. You specify the ODB network when you set up your infrastructure, specifically the Exadata Infrastructure. This network includes dedicated client, as well as backup subnets for an efficient and secure connectivity. If you wish to enable multiple VPCs to connect to the same ODB network and access the Oracle Database@AWS resources, you can leverage AWS Transit Gateways or even an AWS Cloud WAN for scalable and centralized connectivity. The virtual private cloud contains your application server, and that's securely paired with the Oracle Database network, creating a seamless, high-performance path to your application to interact with your Oracle Database. ODB peering simplifies the connectivity between the AWS application environments and the Oracle Exadata Infrastructure, thus supporting a flexible, high performance, and secure database access. 12:23 Lois: Now, before we close, can you compare two key databases that are available with Oracle Database@AWS: Oracle Exadata Database Service and Oracle Autonomous Database Service? Susan: The Exadata Database Service offers a fully managed and dedicated infrastructure with operational monitoring that is handled by you, the customer. In contrast, the Autonomous Database is fully managed by Oracle, taking care of all the operational monitoring. Exadata provides very high scalability though resources, such as disk and compute, must be sized manually. Where in the Autonomous Database, it offers high scalability through automatic elastic scaling. When we speak of performance, both service deliver strong results. Exadata offers ultra-low latency and Exadata-level performance, while the Autonomous Database delivers optimal performance with automation. Both services provide high migration capability. Exadata offers full compatibility and the Autonomous Database includes a robust set of migration tools. When it comes to management, Exadata requires manual management and administration. And that's really in a way to provide you the ability to customize it in the manner you desire, making it meets your very specific business needs, especially your database needs. In contrast, the Autonomous Database is fully managed by Oracle, including automated administration tasks, optimal self-tuning features to further reduce any management overhead. When we speak of the feature sets, the Exadata delivers a full suite of Oracle features, including the RAC application cluster, or the Real Application Cluster, RAC, whereas the Autonomous offers a complete feature set, but specifically that is designed for optimized Autonomous operations. Finally, when we speak of integration, integration for both of this service integrates seamlessly with AWS service, such as your EC2, your network, the VPC, your policies, the Identity and Access Management, your IAM, the monitoring with your CloudWatch, and of course, your storage, your SC, ensuring a consistent experience within your AWS ecosystem. 15:21 Nikita: So, you could say that the Exadata Database Service is better for customers who want dedicated infrastructure with granular control, while the Autonomous Database is built for customers who want a fully automated experience. Thank you, Susan, for taking the time to talk to us about Oracle Database@AWS. Lois: That's all we have for today.

Al pòdcast d’aquesta setmana obrim el programa amb una de les notícies més polèmiques i indignants de les darreres setmanes relacionades amb l’anime en català. El 3Cat ha cessat Laia Servera, fins ara cap de continguts del Sx3 i considerada per gran part de la comunitat com la principal impulsora del retorn de l’anime doblat en català a TV3 i al Super 3. La decisió ha generat una forta reacció a xarxes socials, amb nombroses mostres de suport cap a la Laia i crítiques molt dures contra la direcció del 3Cat, posant de nou sobre la taula el futur del doblatge en català i l’aposta real per l’anime al nostre país. Explicarem TOTS els detalls. A La Càpsula del Temps, tindrem la visita del nostre amic Rubén Cereijo, doctor en biomedicina i apassionat del manganime i els videojocs retro. Junts viatgem als anys 90 per analitzar i reivindicar la mítica saga DONKEY KONG COUNTRY, una sèrie de videojocs clau en la història de Nintendo que va marcar tota una generació tant a nivell tècnic com jugable. A La Doraxarxa, inevitablement, tornem a carregar contra el cessament de Laia Servera, denunciant una decisió que la comunitat otaku en català no entén i que posa en risc la continuïtat de nous animes en català al Sx3. Tanquem el pòdcast amb el Tenkaichi Musical, on sona l’últim opening de Jigokuraku, interpretat en català pel duet Aventura x Japó. 🎧 Manga, anime en català, videojocs i reivindicació cultural… com sempre, al Racó del Manga. 💛

Episode: NCBFAA Spotlight: Understanding the Regulatory Agencies Committee (RAC) Host: Lalo Solorzano Guest(s): • Michael Lahar – Chair, NCBFAA RAC (LinkedIn) • Adam Lees – Vice Chair, NCBFAA RAC (LinkedIn) • Cindy Thomas – Counsel, NCBFAA RAC (LinkedIn) Published: November 2025 Length: ~34 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center
Anyone who has been working within the scope of hospital case/utilization management for any period of time has heard of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Conditions of Participation.But are you familiar with the CMS Conditions for Coverage? Sometimes referred to as “conditions of payment,” these requirements must be met in order for federal health plans to pay a healthcare facility for a submitted claim.Welcome to the live edition of Talk Ten Tuesday, Dec. 9, 10 Eastern. That's when Dr. Juliet Ugarte Hopkins, Chief Medical Officer for Phoenix Medical Management, Inc., will explain how failure to meet some aspects of the CoPs doesn't mean there is a failure in Conditions for Coverage (CfC).The broadcast will also feature these instantly recognizable panelists, who will report more news during their segments:Social Determinants of Health: Tiffany Ferguson, CEO for the aforementioned Phoenix Medical Management, Inc., will report on the news that is happening at the intersection of medical record auditing and the SDoH.CDI Report: Cheryl Ericson, Senior Director of Clinical Policy and Education for the vaunted Brundage Group, will have the latest CDI updates.The Coding Report: Christine Geiger, Assistant Vice President of Acute and Post-Acute Coding Services for First Class Solutions, will report on the latest coding news.News Desk: Timothy Powell, ICD10monitor national correspondent, will anchor the Talk Ten Tuesdays News Desk.MyTalk: Angela Comfort, veteran healthcare subject-matter expert, will co-host the broadcast. Comfort is the Assistant Vice President of Revenue Integrity for Montefiore Health.
For years, federal audit contractors have treated statistical extrapolation as the unassailable engine driving massive overpayment demands. The premise sounds reasonable enough: review a small sample of claims, calculate an error rate, and multiply across the entire population to produce a "statistically valid" overpayment figure.In a perfect world, this approach might hold up. But healthcare isn't a perfect world. It's a domain where coding is inherently subjective, documentation varies dramatically by provider, and even seasoned experts routinely disagree on the same chart. In this environment, extrapolation doesn't multiply truth—it amplifies uncertainty. Join us Monday during the long-running Monitor Monday when senior healthcare analyst Frank Cohen returns to the broadcast to debunk long-held beliefs regarding auditing, auditors and extrapolation. Broadcast segments will also include these instantly recognizable features:· Monday Rounds: Ronald Hirsch, MD, vice president of R1 RCM, will be making his Monday Rounds. · The RAC Report: Healthcare attorney Knicole Emanuel, partner at the law firm of Nelson Mullins, will report the latest news about auditors. · Legislative Update: Cate Brantley, legislative affairs analyst for Zelis, will report on the news happening at the intersection of healthcare and congressional action.· Risky Business: Healthcare attorney David Glaser, shareholder in the law offices of Fredrikson & Byron, will join the broadcast with his trademark segment.

The False Claims Act (FCA) suit was initiated by the U.S. government, not a traditional whistleblower. Nonetheless, the recent $45 million settlement with a Florida physician and his wound care group – Vohra Wound Physicians Management LLC – resolved allegations that group knowingly submitted claims to Medicare for medically unnecessary yet lucrative surgical procedures, when routine non-surgical wound management had actually been done. During the next live edition of the long-running Monitor Monday Internet broadcast, famed whistleblower attorney Mary Inman will report the details of the amazing case, as a not-so-subtle reminder that crime doesn't pay.Broadcast segments will also include these instantly recognizable features:· Monday Rounds: Ronald Hirsch, MD, vice president of R1 RCM, will be making his Monday Rounds. · The RAC Report: Healthcare attorney Knicole Emanuel, partner at the law firm of Nelson Mullins, will report the latest news about auditors. · Legislative Update: Matthew Albright, chief government affairs analyst for Zelis, will report on the news happening at the intersection of healthcare and congressional action.· Risky Business: Healthcare attorney David Glaser, shareholder in the law offices of Fredrikson & Byron, will join the broadcast with his trademark segment.

It's raining RACs. And many other third party auditors. It seems like every submission of medical records is being scrutinized for omission and commission. Then enter artificial intelligence (AI). The use of AI in auditing, although relatively new, is here to stay.How is your facility faring compared to your peers? More audits? Less auditing? More denied claims? More money being recouped?Now you can see for yourself how you're doing comparing to others. Thanks to the annual benchmark study performed by MDaudit and shared here on Monitor Monday, you will be able to judge for yourself.During the next live edition of the long-running Internet broadcast, Ritesh Ramesh, CEO for MDaudit, will share the findings of his company's annual 2025 Benchmark study.Broadcast segments will also include these instantly recognizable features:Monday Rounds: Ronald Hirsch, MD, vice president of R1 RCM, will be making his Monday Rounds.The RAC Report: Healthcare attorney Knicole Emanuel, partner at the law firm of Nelson Mullins, will report the latest news about auditors.Risky Business: Healthcare attorney David Glaser, shareholder in the law offices of Fredrikson & Byron, will join the broadcast with his trademark segment.

Este video cuenta con el apoyo de nuestros amigos de AMV Legend. Un seguro pensado para coches excepcionales y clásicos (con más de 20 años, no hace falta que sea histórico), con muy buenos precios y las coberturas que necesitas para este tipo de vehículos, a las que puedes añadir asistencia en carretera los 365 días del año y desde el kilómetro cero. Para conocer todas las opciones, tienes que entrar en la página web de AMV. Legend: https://www.amv.es/seguros-coches-clasicos/ En 1983, el mundo de los rallyes vivió una batalla casi imposible: David contra Goliat, la propulsión trasera contra la tracción total. El Lancia 037, un coche que parecía obsoleto antes de nacer, se enfrentó al revolucionario Audi Quattro. Repasamos esa temporada mítica. Con el debut del Grupo B en 1983, los coches de rallye se convirtieron en auténticas bestias. Audi ya estaba cambiando las reglas del juego con su tracción integral. Cuando el Audi Quattro empezó a ganar, el resto de fabricantes entendió que sus coches de tracción trasera estaban acabados. El futuro era el 4x4. Mientras otros trabajaban en sus proyectos de tracción total, Lancia tenía que luchar en 1983 con lo que tenía: el 037, un dinosaurio en teoría. Los Contendientes Audi Quattro A1 y A2: El Favorito El Quattro era el futuro. Para 1983, Audi evolucionó su coche a las versiones A1 y A2. Montaba un motor de 5 cilindros en línea, delantero y longitudinal, con turbo. Su tecnología clave era la tracción integral permanente "Quattro". Lancia 037 Rally: El Aspirante El Lancia 037 era el último gran coche de rallyes de tracción trasera. No se basaba en un coche de calle; usaba un chasis tubular específico con el habitáculo del Lancia Beta Montecarlo. El Factor Humano Audi tenía un "dream team" con los pilotos nórdicos Hannu Mikkola y Stig Blomqvist. Lancia, sabiendo que tenía un coche inferior en la mayoría de terrenos, fichó a los mejores bajo la dirección del legendario Cesare Fiorio: Walter Röhrl y Markku Alén. Röhrl odiaba el subviraje del Quattro y se enamoró del equilibrio del 037. Firmó con Lancia solo para ayudar a la marca a ganar el título de constructores. La Temporada 1983: Guerra Total El calendario tenía 12 pruebas, pero solo contaban los 8 mejores resultados. Aquí empezó la partida de ajedrez de Fiorio. Rally de Montecarlo (Asfalto/Nieve): Con nieve escasa, Lancia dio un golpe maestro. La leyenda dice que Fiorio mandó comprar sal para derretir el hielo del Col de Turini, anulando la ventaja del Audi. Lancia hizo un doblete: 1º Röhrl, 2º Alén. Rally de Suecia (Nieve): Fiorio decidió no presentarse. El 037 de tracción trasera no tenía nada que hacer allí. Audi hizo triplete. Rally de Portugal (Tierra): El Quattro arrasó (1º Mikkola, 2ª Mouton). Röhrl consiguió un milagroso 3er puesto. Rally Safari (Kenia): Otra prueba que Fiorio descartó por dura y cara. Audi ganó de nuevo con Mikkola. Tour de Córcega (Asfalto): Territorio Lancia. 100% asfalto revirado. La respuesta instantánea del 037 era perfecta. Lancia humilló a Audi con un histórico póker: 1º (Alén), 2º (Röhrl), 3º (Vudafieri) y 4º (Bettega). Rally Acrópolis (Tierra): Territorio Audi. Pero aquí sucedió el milagro. Röhrl hizo el rally de su vida. La clave fue la fiabilidad: los Audi Quattro, rápidos pero complejos, se rompieron. Mikkola y Mouton abandonaron. Röhrl, con un coche más simple y robusto, ganó el rally. Nueva Zelanda y 8. Argentina (Tierra): Lancia sabía que no podía ganar y apenas compitió. Audi dominó ambas pruebas. Rally 1000 Lagos (Tierra): La "casa" de los pilotos de Audi. Imposible para el 037. Ganó Mikkola (Audi), pero Alén (Lancia) consiguió un vital 2º puesto. Rally de San Remo (Mixto: Asfalto y Tierra): El clímax. El rally de casa de Lancia. Audi estrenaba el A2, más ligero y potente. Parecían invencibles. Pero la fiabilidad volvió a jugar. Los nuevos Audi A2 sufrieron una epidemia de problemas mecánicos. Lancia, perfectamente preparada, no falló y consiguió otro triplete: 1º Alén, 2º Röhrl, 3º Vudafieri. Lancia: Campeona del Mundo de Constructores de 1983. El “dinosaurio” de tracción trasera había vencido al gigante tecnológico. Audi se consoló ganando la última prueba (el RAC) y Hannu Mikkola se llevó el merecido Campeonato de Pilotos. Pero el título de marcas era para los italianos. ¿Ganó el Coche Equivocado? No. El Lancia 037 ganó el mundial de 1983 por cuatro razones clave: fiabilidad (era más simple), estrategia (Cesare Fiorio fue un genio gestionando recursos), el calendario (que aún tenía mucho asfalto) y los pilotos (Röhrl y Alén). En 1983, el Audi Quattro era el coche más rápido y avanzado. Era el futuro. Pero el equipo Lancia, con su "viejo" 037, fue el equipo más inteligente, fiable y mejor gestionado.
We're back! Kicking things off in what must be series-god-only-knows-what is Jermaine Beckford and what a guy he is. From starting out as an RAC driver, we were once incorrectly informed that Beckford went full Bonnie Blue with a mattress in the back, but he's finally put those rumours to rest. After getting his dream move to Leeds, Beckford has plenty of tales: Christmas phone calls with Ken Bates, some bizarre coaching from Kevin Blackwell, and coaches who were somehow better than the players. With a huge contrast in dressing rooms throughout his career, we hear how Fellaini and Phil Neville might have reacted to Parkin's dressing-room antics, as well as stories of the brutal pranks going on at clubs in the lower divisions.

Hasta hace relativamente poco tiempo, todo el mundo tenía claro que el coche del futuro sería 100% eléctrico. Pero a día de hoy ya nadie lo tiene tan claro. Existen muchas dudas en torno a la rentabilidad de comprarse un coche de esta clase, y para resolver algunas de ellas hemos invitado a 'El Faro' a Mario Arnaldo, Presidente de Automovilistas Europeos Asociados. También hemos hablado con los dueños de 'Epocauto', una empresa familiar cuyos coches de época han formado parte de más de 100 películas y series españolas. Hablamos, por ejemplo, del Ford rojo que conducía Penélope Cruz en 'Volver', los autobuses de 'Velvet', el Chevrolet de 'El tiempo entre costuras', el deportivo de Massiel o los camiones militares de 'La Vaquilla'. Y Antón Meana en su sección ha recordado uno de los momentos histórico en el que Carlos Saiz y Luis Moya, bicampeones del mundo de rallys, pierden su tercer título mundial en el RAC de Inglaterra cuando su Corolla se paró, a 400 metros de la meta, por una fuga de aceite.

Today, we're joined by Savannah Bananas player RobertAnthony Cruz, known as Coach RAC, to share his journey to becoming a TikTok-viral baseball coach. RAC shares the details of signing with the Washington Nationals and how God redirected him after a sudden release. He shares his faith journey, from growing up in a Christian home to embracing the gospel's depth as his own. He also shares the sweet story of meeting his wife in middle school and offers tips on coaching kids to find identity in Christ, not performance. We talk about the impact the Savannah Bananas have had and why they're so special, and we also discuss the impact of his faith-filled content and why he believes glorifying God through baseball outweighs any social media criticism.
