Oracle WebLogic Server on AWS — User Guide

| Product: Oracle WebLogic Server

Overview

This page is the entry point for the cloudimg Oracle WebLogic Server AWS Marketplace listing. The listing is a single master product that offers more than one Oracle WebLogic version as separate delivery options. Pick the version matching the one you launched and open its dedicated guide for the full deployment, first-boot, console and WLST walk-through.

Oracle WebLogic Server is the industry-leading Java application server for building, deploying and managing enterprise Java workloads, delivering a Jakarta EE runtime, WLST scripting and a production-grade domain model.

Every variant shares the same operational shape:

  • WebLogic installed via the official generic installer to a dedicated Oracle middleware home under /u01/app/oracle/product, powered by JDK 21 LTS.
  • A base_domain AdminServer pre-configured on port 7001, plus a Node Manager on port 5556, all running as a dedicated unprivileged oracle system user under systemd.
  • A hardened first boot that generates a fresh, cryptographically random weblogic admin password unique to every instance (rotated via WLST) and writes it to a root-only credentials file. No two instances ever share a password and no secret is baked into the image.
  • 24/7 cloudimg support by email at support@cloudimg.co.uk.

Pricing is metered hourly per EC2 instance type. The recommended instance type is m5.large.

Additional WebLogic versions and operating systems may be added to this listing over time — each appears as its own row above with a dedicated guide.

How to tell which variant you launched

If you are not sure which variant you launched, SSH in as ec2-user and check the installed WebLogic version:

sudo unzip -p /u01/app/oracle/product/wlserver/server/lib/weblogic.jar META-INF/MANIFEST.MF | grep Implementation-Version

Implementation-Version: 15.1.1.0.0 is the 15c variant; Implementation-Version: 14.1.2.0.0 is the 14c variant. Open the matching guide above for the rest of the walk-through.

Why pick which version

  • 15c (15.1.1.0.0) — the current WebLogic Server release line. Use it for new deployments and where you want the latest features and longest forward support, on AlmaLinux 9.
  • 14c (14.1.2.0.0) — the established long-term support release certified for a wide range of Jakarta EE 8 / Java EE 8 applications. Use it on Oracle Linux 8 when your application stack is certified against 14c or you are consolidating an existing 14c estate.

Both variants share the same first-boot password rotation, AdminServer-on-7001 layout and WLST tooling, so the operational guides differ only in version-specific paths and notes.
