Oracle and Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS) today announced the general availability of Oracle Database@AWS. Customers can now run Oracle Exadata Database Service and Oracle Autonomous Database on dedicated infrastructure on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) within AWS. Oracle Database@AWS is available in the AWS U.S. East (N. Virginia) and U.S. West (Oregon) Regions, with plans to expand availability to 20 additional AWS Regions around the world.
Customers can easily migrate their Oracle Database workloads to Oracle Database@AWS running on OCI in AWS while taking advantage of Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) and the latest Oracle Database 23ai with embedded AI Vector capabilities. Oracle Database@AWS includes zero-ETL (extract, transform, and load) integration, which simplifies data integration between enterprise Oracle Database services and AWS Analytics services, eliminating the need to build and manage complex data pipelines. This allows data to flow seamlessly between Oracle Database services and AWS services, giving customers the ability to combine their data with AWS analytics, machine learning, and generative AI services to further enhance their applications. These capabilities expand customers' choices for running their databases in the cloud and complements existing options to run Oracle Database workloads within AWS.
"Enterprise customers can seamlessly migrate their Oracle database workloads to Oracle Database@AWS without rearchitecting applications, all while benefitting from the security, resiliency, and scalability of AWS's global infrastructure," said G2 Krishnamoorthy, vice president, Database Services, AWS. "Many of the world's largest and most security-sensitive organizations already trust AWS with their Oracle workloads, and Oracle Database@AWS makes it even easier for enterprises to unlock greater value from their data with AWS's advanced analytics and generative AI capabilities."
"Customers have been putting their most valuable data in Oracle databases for decades," said Karan Batta, senior vice president, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. "Oracle Database@AWS lets them run Oracle Database workloads on OCI in AWS. This allows customers to take full advantage of Oracle Database 23ai to simplify application development and run mission-critical workloads with AI and native vector embeddings. Combined with AWS's advanced generative AI and analytics services, this gives customers a truly remarkable solution."
