Eliminate manual Oracle installation complexity and go production-ready on AWS in minutes. This pre-configured, security-hardened AMI delivers Oracle Database 12.2 Standard Edition (BYOL) on Linux with 24/7 expert support from cloudimg engineers who specialize in Oracle-on-AWS deployments.

## Why Choose cloudimg for Oracle on AWS

cloudimg provides pre-built Oracle AMIs across multiple cloud marketplaces, including AWS and Azure, with deep expertise in Oracle database infrastructure. Our engineers handle the build, patching, and optimization so your DBA team can focus on application workloads rather than infrastructure maintenance.

• Average one-hour response time - dedicated Oracle-on-AWS engineers, not generic L1 support
• Guaranteed 24-hour resolution SLA - backed by 24/7/365 ticketing with architecture guidance included
• Pre-hardened and patched - latest OS and database security patches applied before publication
• Production-optimized - ENA networking, EBS optimization, and Oracle parameters tuned for AWS instance types

## Key Capabilities

• Multitenant architecture - pluggable databases (PDBs) for workload consolidation and simplified management
• Advanced SQL/PL-SQL support - full Oracle12.2 Standard Edition feature set for enterprise application development
• High availability features - Oracle Data Guard compatibility and automated backup integration with RMAN
• Pre-installed AWS tooling - AWS CLI v2, CloudWatch Agent, and SSM Agent for unified monitoring and management

## Concrete Use Cases

Financial services reconciliation - Run nightly batch processing and reconciliation jobs on pluggable databases, isolating workloads per business unit while maintaining a single Oracle instance.

Mid-market ERP migration - Lift-and-shift on-premises Oracle 12.2 Standard databases to AWS with no application code changes. Pre-configured listener (port 1521) and TNS settings reduce migration effort to configuration-only adjustments.

Development and QA environments - Spin up isolated Oracle 12.2 instances for development teams. Pluggable database architecture allows multiple schemas per instance, reducing infrastructure costs.

Analytics and reporting - Leverage Oracle SQL and PL/SQL for data warehousing workloads up to Standard Edition resource limits, with EBS-optimized storage for sustained I/O throughput.

## Security and Hardening

• Latest Oracle Critical Patch Updates (CPU) applied at build time
• OS-level security patches current at publication date
• EBS encryption supported for data at rest
• Oracle Net encryption configurable for data in transit
• SSH root login disabled by default
• CloudWatch Agent enables centralized audit logging
• SSM Agent provides secure session access without opening SSH ports

## AWS Integration

• Enhanced Networking (ENA) - up to 25 Gbps per-flow bandwidth for database backups and data transfers
• EBS Optimization - automatic EBS-optimized configuration for consistent storage performance
• CloudWatch monitoring - pre-installed agent streams OS and custom Oracle metrics to CloudWatch dashboards
• Systems Manager - SSM Agent enables patch management, inventory, and secure remote sessions

## Bring Your Own License (BYOL)

This AMI requires a valid Oracle Database Standard Edition license. Oracle licenses must be procured separately from Oracle or an authorized reseller. cloudimg provides the infrastructure, installation, optimization, and 24/7 support. Ensure your Oracle licensing agreement covers deployment on AWS EC2 instances.
