Purpose-built for DBAs, cloud architects, and IT teams at enterprises running mission-critical workloads who need a supported, optimized Oracle image on AWS.
## Key Capabilities
- Multi-tenant architecture - Consolidate workloads using pluggable databases (PDBs) to reduce overhead and simplify management across development, test, and production environments.
- Real Application Clusters (RAC) ready - Architect high-availability clusters that survive node or instance failures for continuous uptime.
- Advanced Security - Oracle Advanced Security option supports Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) and Oracle Net encryption to protect data at rest and in transit.
- In-Memory analytics - Accelerate queries with columnar in-memory processing for real-time reporting alongside OLTP workloads.
- Partitioning - Manage large tables efficiently with range, hash, and composite partitioning for improved query performance.
## AWS Integration and Optimization
- One-click launch - Production-ready deployment on popular Linux instances. Pre-installed AWS CLI v2, CloudWatch Agent, and SSM Agent enable unified monitoring and automation from the start.
- Enhanced Networking (ENA) - Up to 25 Gbps per-flow bandwidth for GoldenGate replication, Data Pump transfers, and RMAN backups.
- EBS optimization - Automatic EBS-optimized configuration for sustained I/O throughput on gp3 and io2 volumes.

## Common Use Cases
- Mission-critical ERP, billing, and financial systems requiring guaranteed uptime and expert DBA support.
