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.
