Oracle announced the limited preview of Oracle Database@AWS. Customers will now be able to run Oracle Exadata Database Service on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) in Amazon Web Services (AWS), starting with the AWS US East Region. Oracle Database@AWS provides customers with a fully integrated experience for deploying, managing, and using Oracle Exadata Database Service natively within AWS.

Initially announced earlier this year, Oracle Database@AWS allows customers to migrate Oracle Database workloads, including Oracle Exadata and Oracle Real Application Cluster (RAC), to the cloud. The offering provides a low latency network connection between Oracle databases and applications on AWS. This makes it easy for customers to connect enterprise data in their Oracle databases to applications running on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), AWS Analytics services, or AWS’ advanced artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) services, including Amazon Bedrock. Oracle will operate and manage Oracle Exadata Database Service.

“Up until now, it has been impossible to replicate the performance and functionality of Oracle Database on Exadata in AWS,” said Dave McCarthy, research vice president, IDC. “With Oracle Database@AWS, customers can finally enjoy that same experience with an easy migration path to the cloud for their on-premises mission-critical workloads. This allows them to reap the benefits of simplifying their daily management and operations to prioritize modernization initiatives.”

Oracle Database@AWS enables customers to utilize their existing skills and provides a unified experience between OCI and AWS for simplified database administration, billing, and unified customer support, with the security, agility, flexibility, and sustainability benefits provided by AWS. Customers can quickly launch their Oracle Database@AWS experience using familiar tools such as the AWS Management Console. Customers can also benefit from:

  • Seamlessly and securely connect and analyze data across Oracle Database services and applications they already have running on AWS to get faster, deeper insights without having to build pipelines.
  • Flexible options to simplify and accelerate migrating their Oracle databases to the cloud, including compatibility with proven migration tools such as Oracle Zero Downtime Migration.
  • A simplified procurement experience via AWS Marketplace. Customer’s usage of Oracle Database@AWS qualifies for their existing AWS commitments and uses their existing Oracle license benefits, including Bring Your Own License (BYOL) and discount programs such as Oracle Support Rewards (OSR).
  • A fully unified support experience from both AWS and Oracle, as well as guidance through reference architectures, landing zones, and other collateral for customers to successfully build and run their most trusted enterprise applications in the cloud.

In addition, Oracle Database@AWS will help customers unify their data across Oracle and AWS for analytics, machine learning, and generative AI. This will help customers to build new scalable microservices-based applications and accelerate their time to market for new features by combining Amazon EC2, Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS), and Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) with Oracle Database 23ai features, like AI Vector Search.

“We want our customers to have access to our data services and to be able to seamlessly use multiple clouds,” said Karan Batta, senior vice president, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. “This partnership provides a unified way for customers to use the best of Oracle and AWS to take advantage of the latest AI innovations and simplify operations. The introduction of Oracle Exadata Database Service in the AWS US East Region is only the beginning, and we plan to continue to work with AWS to meet customer demand.”
