Oracle and Amazon Web Services (AWS) launched a new offering that allows customers to access Oracle Autonomous Database on dedicated infrastructure and Oracle Exadata Database Service within AWS.
Set to be available in preview later in the year, with broader availability in 2025 as it expands to new AWS Regions, Oracle Database@AWS will provide customers with a unified experience between Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) and AWS, offering simplified database administration, billing, and unified customer support.
Combining the Best of OCI and AWS
Upon seeing huge demand from customers that want to use multiple clouds, Larry Ellison, Oracle Chairman and CTO, commented, “With Oracle Cloud Infrastructure deployed inside of AWS data centers, we can provide customers with the best possible database and network performance.”
For business efficiency, customers will now have the ability to seamlessly connect enterprise data in their Oracle Database to applications running on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), AWS Analytics services, or AWS’s advanced artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) services, including Amazon Bedrock.
With many organizations already choosing to deploy their Oracle software on AWS since 2008, AWS CEO Matt Garman said, “This new, deeper partnership will provide Oracle Database services within AWS to allow customers to take advantage of the flexibility, reliability, and scalability of the world’s most widely adopted cloud alongside enterprise software they rely on.”
Thus, Oracle Database@AWS customers can bring together all of their enterprise data to drive breakthrough innovation and leverage a low latency network connection between Oracle databases and applications on AWS.
Additionally, customers are able to easily launch their Oracle Database@AWS experience using familiar tools such as the AWS Management Console or via Command Line Interface (CLI) as well as AWS CloudFormation.
They are also able to take advantage of AWS’s multi-Availability Zone (AZ) architecture, which allows customers to architect their applications across multiple, independent locations allowing them to build and launch workloads with higher levels of availability.
From a customer’s perspective, the collaboration between industry leaders like AWS and Oracle is “great news." In addition to giving Vodafone’s developers access to the latest cloud and data technologies, Scott Petty, Chief Technology Officer, Vodafone, explained, "The combination of AWS and Oracle complements our own strength and breadth of capabilities and will allow us to develop and deliver secure, resilient, and innovative services faster and at scale.”
