Inflight during cruise phase at FL270; eastbound; subsequent ECAM actions appeared on the Engine/Warning Display (EWD). We addressed the ECAM actions as they appeared which resulted in an inflight engine shutdown of the Number 2 (right) engine. A drift down procedure was executed using the QRC checklist with an initial 180 degree right turn off track to head back towards the [departure airport]. Weather; NOTAMs; and landing distance performance information was gathered. The decision was made to return to [an alternate airport] as it provided an equivalent level of safety. The passengers and cabin crew were advised periodically of the situation. A new clearance was obtained and entered into the [Flight Management System] and the flight proceeded direct. Communication with Dispatch was established via SATCOM and an amended release was obtained.The overweight landing procedure and ditching procedure was reviewed in the QRH. Closer to [alternate airport]; we made a request to have emergency vehicles (ARFF) standing by. The decision was also made to taxi into gate on our own power with ARFF following the aircraft and monitoring the situation. When cleared for the approach; we ensured that all tasks of the overweight landing procedure were accomplished. The aircraft touched down with no further incident and the emergency was terminated upon arrival at the gate.ECAM alert: High Oil Temp followed by low oil pressure on number 2 engine. ECAM actions lead to shutdown of the number 2 engine.
