I Automated Oracle 19.28 Database and Grid Patching with Ansible — Here Are the Playbooks

I’ve been using Ansible for Oracle database patching for a while now, mainly to standardize and simplify the process across environments.

Although 19.31 is around the corner and it’s already time to move forward with the usual n-1 approach (19.30), I realized I never shared my updated playbooks for 19.28.

The playbooks cover:

  • Grid Infrastructure patching
  • Database RU + MRP
  • RAC environments
  • Out-of-place patching

They reflect what I actually use in real systems, not just a lab setup.

If you're dealing with Oracle patching and want something repeatable and less manual, this might help.

Feedback / suggestions welcome.
