Oracle Database 21c Enterprise Edition for AWS

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

Get Oracle Database 21c Enterprise Edition running on AWS in minutes instead of spending hours on manual installation, hardening, and agent configuration. This pre-built AMI from cloudimg eliminates the complexity of deploying Oracle's converged database engine so your team can focus on application delivery rather than infrastructure setup.

## Why Choose This AMI Over Self-Installation

Building an Oracle 21c environment from scratch typically requires installing the OS, applying security patches, configuring networking, installing Oracle binaries, and setting up monitoring agents. This AMI delivers all of that pre-configured:

• Pre-installed Oracle 21c Enterprise with native JSON storage, blockchain tables, and in-database AutoML ready to use
• Security-hardened OS with latest patches applied and automatic EBS optimisation enabled
• Monitoring agents pre-configured including AWS CLI v2, CloudWatch Agent, and SSM Agent for immediate observability
• Enhanced networking enabled with ENA Express supporting single TCP flows up to 25Gbps for RMAN and Data Pump operations
• EBS encryption support for data-at-rest protection using AWS KMS

## Supported Operating Systems

Choose from Oracle Linux, AlmaLinux, or Rocky Linux at launch - giving you flexibility for licensing requirements, kernel compatibility, and organizational compliance standards.

## Use Case Scenarios

Financial Services - Transaction Processing: Run mission-critical billing and ERP workloads requiring high availability and tamper-evident audit trails using Oracle's blockchain tables. Ideal for organizations processing high-volume transactional data that requires both SQL performance and immutable record-keeping.

Application Modernization - JSON Microservices: Build modern microservices that store and query JSON documents natively within Oracle 21c while retaining full SQL access. Eliminates the need for a separate document database, reducing architectural complexity.

Data Analytics and AutoML: Leverage Oracle's in-database machine learning capabilities to run predictive models directly where your data resides, avoiding data movement overhead for analytics workloads.

## Licensing - Bring Your Own License

Use your existing Oracle Database Enterprise Edition entitlements (BYOL). This AMI does not include Oracle software licenses - you must hold valid Oracle licensing before deployment.

## Security Hardening

The AMI ships with a hardened baseline including latest OS security patches, automatic EBS optimisation, and pre-configured monitoring for security observability through CloudWatch and SSM. EBS volumes support encryption at rest via AWS KMS for data protection.

## Architecture and AWS Integration

The AMI integrates with core AWS services out of the box:

• Amazon CloudWatch for database and OS metric collection and alerting
• AWS Systems Manager for patch management, automation, and secure remote access
• ENA Express for high-throughput network performance on supported instance types
• Amazon EBS with optimised I/O configuration for database workloads
