This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for cloudimg support services.

## Oracle Database 21c Enterprise Edition - Production-Ready on AWS

Reduce your Oracle deployment effort from days to minutes. This pre-configured AMI from cloudimg gives Oracle DBAs and platform engineers at mid-market and enterprise organizations a hardened, observable Oracle21c environment on AWS - backed by 24/7 expert support with a guaranteed response SLA.

## Why Choose cloudimg Over a Manual Deployment?

Building an Oracle 21c environment from scratch on AWS requires configuring the OS, applying security patches, installing monitoring agents, tuning EBS storage, and validating networking - typically consuming 2-3 days of DBA effort. With this AMI, those steps are completed for you:

• Pre-installed observability stack - AWS CLI v2, CloudWatch Agent, and SSM Agent are configured at launch, eliminating manual setup for monitoring and automation
• EBS-optimized storage - Automatic EBS optimization is applied so your database volumes deliver consistent throughput from the first query
• ENA Express networking - Single TCP flows up to 25Gbps enable faster RMAN backups and Data Pump exports, helping reduce backup windows for multi-TB databases
• Security-patched baseline - Latest OS and security patches are applied at build time, reducing your exposure window compared to manual installs

## Key Capabilities

• Native JSON storage - Build JSON-based microservices that leverage full SQL access without a separate document store
• Blockchain tables - Create tamper-evident ledger records directly in the database for audit and compliance workflows
• In-database AutoML - Run machine learning models inside the database engine, reducing data movement for analytics teams
• Converged engine - Support OLTP, analytics, and mixed workloads in a single database instance

## Deployment Scenarios

Financial services audit trails - Use blockchain tables to maintain immutable transaction records for regulatory compliance in banking and insurance environments running multi-TB OLTP workloads.

ERP migration to AWS - Migrate on-premises Oracle-backed ERP systems (PeopleSoft, E-Business Suite) to AWS using BYOL entitlements, with cloudimg providing architecture guidance for right-sizing instances and configuring Data Guard replication.

JSON microservices with SQL - Development teams building API-driven applications can store JSON documents natively while retaining the ability to join, index, and query them with standard SQL.

## Flexible Linux Options

Choose Oracle Linux, AlmaLinux, or Rocky Linux at launch. Select the distribution that matches your organization's patching policies and support agreements.

## Bring Your Own License (BYOL)

Use your existing Oracle Database Enterprise Edition license entitlements. This AMI does not include Oracle software licenses - you apply your own, giving you full control over your licensing compliance.

## AWS Integration Points

• AWS Systems Manager for patch management and run commands
• Amazon EBS with encryption support via AWS KMS
• VPC deployment with configurable security groups (port 1521 for Oracle listener)
