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

## Oracle Database 21c Standard Edition on AWS

Deploy Oracle Database 21c Standard Edition 2 on AWS in minutes with a pre-hardened, production-ready AMI maintained and supported by cloudimg. This converged database delivers native JSON, blockchain tables, and AutoML features under a licence limited to two CPU sockets and sixteen CPU threads for predictable cost.

## Why Choose cloudimg

Unlike a bare Oracle installation, this AMI ships fully configured with observability tooling, security hardening, and networking optimization already applied. Without it, teams typically spend hours manually installing agents, tuning EBS volumes, and applying patches before reaching a production-ready state. With cloudimg you get a tested, repeatable baseline backed by engineers who specialize in Oracle on AWS - reducing your time-to-production and ongoing operational risk.

## Key AWS Benefits

• One-click launch - Production ready in minutes on Oracle Linux, AlmaLinux, or Rocky Linux AMIs.
• Enhanced Networking (ENA) - Single-flow bandwidth up to 25 Gbps for 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, unnecessary services disabled, and automatic EBS optimization configured for sustained I/O throughput.
• Encryption support - Compatible with EBS encryption at rest and Oracle Net TLS encryption in transit for data protection.

## Security and Hardening Details

The AMI is built with a security-first approach including the latest OS-level patches, disabled unnecessary network services, and pre-configured firewall rules. EBS volumes support AWS-managed encryption at rest, and Oracle Net can be configured for TLS to protect data in transit. Patch updates are published on a regular cadence to address CVEs promptly.

## Common Use Cases

• Departmental ERP, CRM, and analytics needing Oracle compatibility without Enterprise Edition extras.
• Independent software vendor appliances under BYOL where customers supply SE2 entitlements.
• Development, QA, and classroom environments mirroring on-premises Oracle deployments.
• Regulated workloads requiring a hardened, auditable database platform on AWS.

## Bring Your Own License (BYOL)

Use your existing Oracle Standard Edition 2 entitlements with this AMI. cloudimg handles the infrastructure image so you can focus on your application workload without re-licensing.
