Oracle Database on Oracle Linux 8, offering 19c and 21c, Standard and Enterprise Edition and filesystem or ASM storage from one listing.
Oracle Database is Oracle's commercial relational database for transactional and analytical workloads. This listing offers multiple variants: 19c long term support or 21c innovation release, Standard Edition 2 or Enterprise Edition, on filesystem storage or Automatic Storage Management with Grid Infrastructure. Launch the variant that matches your requirement.
The cloudimg image runs on Oracle Linux 8 and, per instance, generates strong random passwords for SYSTEM, SYS and ASMSNMP on first boot into a root only file, so the database is never left with default or shared credentials. Backed by 24/7 cloudimg support for deployment, tuning, backup and recovery and cloud migration.
This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for cloudimg support services.
Oracle Database is the world's most widely deployed relational database, powering mission-critical enterprise applications across industries. This listing delivers Oracle Database fully installed and configured, so a production-grade database is running within minutes of launch.
Choose Your Variant
This listing is a family of Oracle Database AMIs on Oracle Linux 8; launch the AMI that matches your requirement. Oracle Database 19c is the Long Term Support release, recommended for long-term production; Oracle Database 21c is the Innovation Release, for applications certified against 21c. Standard Edition 2 suits departmental workloads and the SE2 licence model, while Enterprise Edition unlocks Partitioning, Advanced Compression, Advanced Replication and the full EE option set for demanding production workloads. Storage comes in two forms: a filesystem layout on a dedicated EBS data volume that is simple to operate and resize, or Automatic Storage Management (ASM) on Enterprise Edition, where single-instance Grid Infrastructure (Oracle Restart) manages +DATA and +RECO disk groups across raw EBS volumes for operational parity with on-premises ASM estates (asmcmd, srvctl, multi-volume IOPS striping, online storage management). The 21c ASM variant ships as a multitenant container database (ORCL) with a pluggable database (ORCLPDB).
What Is Included
Oracle Database installed from upstream Oracle media, with a starter database and the SQL*Plus command-line client, and the Oracle listener on port 1521 preconfigured. The database storage tier lives on dedicated EBS volumes so it is independently resizable without touching the OS disk. Long Term Support variants are patched to the current Database Release Update for their release series.
Secure First Boot
The image ships with no shared credentials. On the first boot of every instance, a one-shot service generates strong random passwords for SYSTEM and SYS (and ASMSNMP on ASM variants), sets them on the running database, and writes them to a file readable only by the root user. Authentication is enforced from the moment the listener is reachable.
Ready To Use
Connect via SSH, retrieve the generated credentials from /root/oracle-db-credentials.txt, and open SQL*Plus or point your JDBC driver at port 1521. The database is open and the listener is serving immediately after first boot completes. SQL Developer and other JDBC clients can connect remotely on port 1521.
