I wanted to know if Oracle 11gR2 database is migrated to Oracle cloud without upgrading the version, then does oracle cloud provide us with extended support, as oracle 11gR2 is reaching end of support on Dec 2020.
I found 4 methods for migrating Oracle 11gR2 to Oracle cloud 11gR2 database, But I am not sure if Oracle cloud provides extension period for expiring database.
If you adopt a Bring Your Own License approach, then I think you will be as you should be covered as part of your existing support agreement. I presume you're on a sustaining support agreement (https://support.oracle.com/knowledge/Oracle%20Cloud/2068368_1.html) Your Oracle account manager will be able to confirm.
Have you considered using the use of OCI as an opportunity to move to autonomous - free yourself from patching and security considerations?

I need to use Vision API to OCR sensitive documents (passeports/IDs...). But Google Cloud doesn't seem to meet GDPR requirements and I'd prefer hosting the models on our servers.
Vision OCR On-prem exists (https://cloud.google.com/vision/on-prem) but I can't find any other information on how to install or use it. Only the pricing.
Has anyone ever done this before ? Is there any public documentation ?
Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks.
If you don't want to jump through the hoops of working with Google's sales team for the on-prem vision solution, but you don't have an ML background to train/retrain your own model, you might consider Google AutoML. This would allow you to retrain a model with minimal effort - all in their web-based console - and the results would be downloadable and able to run on various platforms such as mobile (TFLITE) or in the browser (TFJS).
You can read about Vision API's data usage here: https://cloud.google.com/vision/docs/data-usage Note that Vision API doesn't retain your data.
If you still want to use Vision API OCR onprem anyway, you would have to contact sales: https://cloud.google.com/contact

Having some trouble finding a workable solution for MariaDB key management.
In the words of one of our devops guys - "File key management is somewhat akin to taping your car's key to the windscreen". So, we are looking for a secure way to implement data-at-rest encryption, but we are having trouble with both of the other options listed in the documentation.
AWS KMS
The MariaDB documentation states the following:
The AWS Key Management plugin depends on the AWS SDK for C++, which uses the Apache License, Version 2.0. This license is not compatible with MariaDB Server's GPL 2.0 license, so we are not able to distribute packages that contain the AWS Key Management plugin. Therefore, the only way to currently obtain the plugin is to install it from source.
Our servers are managed, and the response we received from the devops team was:
Building things from source is quite an anti-pattern within the
context of a Puppet-managed environment, so we need to figure out if
this is doable in a sane and sustainable way
Eperi Key Management
The MariaDB documentation states the following:
It reads encryption keys from eperi Gateway for Databases.
I contacted Eperi to get information about their Gateway for Databases solution, and this was the response I received from their sales team:
We will not be able to serve you. Please look for another way.
So Im at a bit of a dead end here :(
Has anybody in a similar situation been able to find a workable solution?

Should I use google charts in production environment?
Google charts are very easy to use.
https://google-developers.appspot.com/chart/interactive/docs/quick_start
But is it recommended to be used in a production environment?
The API's are not hosted in house but called form google servers.
There is a risk of google changing them or discontinuing them.
I couldn't find any license agreement to use.
Is the data secure as the data is being sent to google servers.
Are the above real risks or am I over thinking.
I was wondering if anyone has any experience with using google API's in production. Or if anyone can give some recommendations.
The Terms of Service cover some of your questions. Basically, Google's deprecation policy says that the API will be available for 3 years following deprecation (and most of the API - namely, the Interactive Charts API - is not deprecated; the old Image Chart API is, however).
For data security, most charts in the Interactive Charts API do not send any data to Google's servers, though there are exceptions. Each chart's documentation has a Data Policy section which explains what, if any, data is sent to Google (examples: AreaCharts, which do not send any data; and GeoCharts, which may send data if you use the geocoding features). Charts in the Image Chart API do send data to Google's servers, as they generate the images server-side rather than client-side, but this API is deprecated anyway, so you probably shouldn't be using it.
The main risk with using the Visualization API in my experience is that you have (practically) no control over versioning. When the development team releases an update, everyone everywhere gets the update. Usually this is a good thing, as it brings new features, bug fixes, and performance enhancements to everyone. Occasionally, however, a new release may introduce a bug, or change the behavior or appearance of a chart in some way that is undesirable for your application. When this happens, you generally cannot roll back to the previous version. For projects that are under active development for long periods of time, this is generally an acceptable trade-off for the free (as in beer) chart API. For projects that do not have a long-term maintenance budget, this can be problematic.
If your user-base is in an area that has poor connectivity to Google's servers, having the API hosted remotely could be problematic, but in general this is not the case.
I have used it in a production environment. All the questions you have posed are very real possibilities. For use it came down to budget, the money was there to purchase a system so we went with what we could afford at the time. The direction you go really depends on budget and existing systems that might be able to achieve the same thing.

I know that Coldfusion developer edition is technically similar to its enterprise edition with limited features but from legal perspective, is it legal to use developer edition within development team of a company for the development of a commercial application?
Please note, I've already read Coldfusion EULA and many replies to questions where people said developer edition is freely available. Now, my doubt is: Isn't there any "per user license" kind of thing for coldfusion development team members in an IT company as in case of visual studio and other softwares? because if we don't need any license within development team then a team of 10 or 1000 members must be able to develop applications for cost of just 1 license of enterprise edition for production server, which shouldn't be possible AFAIK.
It took me about 30sec to google the ColdFusion EULA which has all these details in it.
Bottom line is the developer edition licence works as follows:
ColdFusion 10 Developer Edition is a free, fully functional version of
ColdFusion for local host development of applications that will be
deployed on either standard or enterprise servers and can be
simultaneously accessed from two remote IP addresses.
From the Adobe website.
How come you didn't just google this stuff? Wouldn't that have been easier than posting a question on StackOverflow?
No, you do not require a license to run Developer edition.

What licensing issues arise if I install and use Microsoft Office software (in this case Visio) as part of my web service backend?
My company's flagship piece of software can convert Microsoft Visio files for use in their environment, but of course requires a local install of Visio to decode the files. The system I'm to create is to offer a sort of web service where people can upload their Visio files, and then we can show off the benefits of buying our full price software.
In order to do this I'd need an install of our software on the server, as well as Visio. What I'm a little concerned about is technically any visitor to the site is technically using Visio. I can't really find any other examples when searching online (it doesn't help when things like "server", "cloud" are essentially buzzwords) so any advice would be greatly appreciated!
I don't know the legal details but MS say if you do this every user would require a Visio Licence. You can certainly do it technically but MS also warn that office automation was intended to be done in an interactive session - I take this to mean they don't guarantee that its not going to pop up a dialog or something at some point. They provide server side options for most office products but not Visio.
I don't know what your application is but I can think of three options that may be relevant:
Create a downloadable application that opens Visio and converts the file to your internal format and then uploads it to your server
Have files uploaded to the server which then creates a task for someone in your company to download the file and do something with it. You could significantly automate this process
Get the users to upload VDX files and process the data as XML
Note if your application is using Visio in such a way that you don't have your own internal data structure can you use option 1 and just have some of the functionality done on the server through authenticate web services? this way they get to see what it can do but it only works while connected to your server.
