Oracle’s Database@AWS offering has been made generally available, launching in two Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud regions, placing Oracle hardware within Amazon data centers.
Oracle Database@AWS enables customers to migrate Oracle Database workloads, including Oracle Exadata and Oracle Real Application Cluster (RAC), to the cloud with a low-latency connection between the databases and applications on AWS.
Those applications can be running on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud, AWS Analytics services, or AWS’ artificial intelligence and machine learning services
The offering is now available in AWS’ US East (N. Virginia) and US West (Oregon) Regions, with plans to expand availability to 20 additional AWS Regions around the world.
Those planned locations include Canada (Central), Frankfurt, Hyderabad, Ireland, London, Melbourne, Milan, Mumbai, Osaka, Paris, São Paulo, Seoul, Singapore, Spain, Stockholm, Sydney, Tokyo, US East (Ohio), US West (N. California), and Zurich.
“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.”
Early adopters of Oracle Database@AWS include Fidelity Investments, Nationwide, and SAS.
“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.”
Plans for the offering were first revealed in September 2024, with it becoming available in “limited preview” from just the US East region that December.
Oracle has similar offerings with Google and Microsoft.
The Google solution became generally available in September 2024, with the two adding more locations in 2025.
Oracle and Microsoft have a longer-standing relationship, making Oracle Database@Azure available in December 2023. This followed Microsoft signing a multi-year agreement to use Oracle Cloud for AI inferencing on its Bing search service. As of March 2025, Oracle Database@Azure was available in 14 regions globally.
