## Key AWS Benefits

• One-click launch - Production ready in minutes on popular Linux AMIs
• Enhanced networking (ENA) - Up to 25 Gbps per-flow bandwidth for fast backups and Data Pump transfers
• Observability built in - AWS CLI v2, CloudWatch Agent, and SSM Agent come pre-installed for unified monitoring and automation
• Hardened baseline - Latest security patches applied plus automatic EBS optimisation for sustained I/O throughput
• EBS encryption support - Compatible with AWS KMS-managed encryption for data-at-rest protection

## Security and Hardening

This AMI ships with the latest available security patches applied at build time. EBS optimisation is enabled by default for consistent storage performance. The image supports EBS volume encryption via AWS KMS, allowing you to meet data-at-rest encryption requirements without additional configuration. Unnecessary services are minimised to reduce the attack surface. Patches are applied with each new AMI revision to align with Oracle critical patch updates.

## Deployment Overview

1. Launch the AMI from AWS Marketplace on a supported EC2 instance (recommended: memory-optimised instance families such as r5 or r6i)

2. Configure your security group to allow inbound access on Oracle listener port 1521 from trusted sources only

3. Connect via SSH to verify pre-installed Oracle components and review the listener configuration

4. Use SQL*Plus to connect as SYSDBA and configure your initial database schemas

5. Verify CloudWatch Agent metrics are flowing to your AWS console for ongoing monitoring

6. Enable automated EBS snapshots for backup and recovery
