Best Practices for Running Oracle Database on Amazon Web Services (AWS Whitepaper)

January 2018
Amazon Web Services (AWS) offers you the ability to run your Oracle Database in a cloud environment.
Running Oracle Database in the AWS Cloud is very similar to running Oracle Database in your
data center. To a database administrator or developer, there are no differences between the two
environments. However, there are a number of AWS platform considerations relating to security, storage,
compute configurations, management, and monitoring that will help you get the best out of your
Oracle Database implementation on AWS. This whitepaper provides best practices for achieving optimal
performance, availability, and reliability, and lowering the total cost of ownership (TCO) while running
Oracle Database on AWS. The target audience for this whitepaper includes database administrators,
enterprise architects, systems administrators, and developers who would like to run their Oracle
Database on AWS.
