Why Choose cloudimg
cloudimg specializes exclusively in Oracle database deployments on AWS. When you choose this AMI, you get more than a pre-built image - you gain access to a team that builds, patches, and optimizes Oracle on AWS daily. Our engineers provide architecture guidance tailored to your workload, proactive patching within days of Oracle and Microsoft security releases, and hands-on migration assistance for teams moving Oracle workloads from on-premises to AWS. Unlike generic AMI publishers, cloudimg delivers a guaranteed 24-hour response time with an average response of one hour, ensuring production issues are addressed rapidly.
Key Capabilities
Converged database architecture - Native JSON document support and blockchain tables let you consolidate multiple data models into a single Oracle instance, reducing infrastructure sprawl.
License-friendly constraints - Limited to 2 CPU sockets and 16 CPU threads, keeping licensing predictable and aligned with Standard Edition 2 entitlements under BYOL.
One-click launch - Production-ready in minutes on Windows Server 2016, 2019, and 2022 AMIs with no manual Oracle installation required.
25 Gbps ENA networking - Enhanced Networking Adapter support delivers single-flow bandwidth up to 25 Gbps for Data Pump transfers, RMAN backups, and high-throughput application queries.
Pre-installed observability stack - AWS CLI v2, Amazon CloudWatch Agent, and AWS Systems Manager Agent come configured out of the box for unified monitoring, log collection, and automated patching.
Hardened baseline - Latest Windows security patches applied, automatic EBS optimization enabled for sustained I/O performance, and Oracle listener configured for local-only access by default.
Security and Encryption
EBS volumes support encryption at rest using AWS KMS keys - enable default encryption in your account or specify a CMK at launch.
Oracle Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) can be configured post-launch for tablespace-level encryption of sensitive data.
The AMI ships with Windows Firewall rules restricting Oracle listener access to localhost; configure your VPC security groups to allow only trusted CIDR ranges on port 1521.
Network isolation is recommended via private subnets with no public IP assignment; use AWS Systems Manager Session Manager for administrative access instead of exposing RDP publicly.
Common Use Cases
Departmental ERP, CRM, and analytics workloads requiring Oracle compatibility without Enterprise Edition overhead.
ISV appliances under BYOL where customers supply their own Standard Edition 2 entitlements.
Development, QA, and training environments that mirror on-premises Oracle deployments for accurate testing.
Migrating on-premises Oracle Standard Edition workloads to AWS with minimal re-architecture.
Getting Started
To evaluate this AMI, launch it on a supported instance type (r5.large or larger recommended for production workloads). Connect via RDP, verify the Oracle service is running, and connect using SQL*Plus or your preferred client. For architecture guidance or migration planning, contact cloudimg engineering directly.

Highlights
Converged database with native JSON and blockchain tables - Oracle 21c SE2 consolidates document, relational, and ledger data models in a single instance limited to 2 CPU sockets and 16 threads, eliminating the need for separate databases and reducing licensing complexity. BYOL lets you apply existing Standard Edition entitlements directly.
25 Gbps ENA networking with pre-tuned EBS and full observability - Enhanced Networking delivers single-flow bandwidth up to 25 Gbps for Data Pump exports and RMAN backups. The AMI ships with CloudWatch Agent, AWS CLI v2, and SSM Agent pre-configured so you can monitor Oracle health metrics, automate patching, and manage instances without exposing RDP publicly.
1-hour average response from dedicated Oracle-on-AWS engineers - cloudimg provides 24x7x365 SLA-backed support with a guaranteed 24-hour response time and an average of one hour. Beyond break-fix, the team delivers architecture reviews, migration planning, and proactive patching within days of Oracle and Microsoft security releases.

Pricing is based on actual usage, with charges varying according to how much you consume. Subscriptions have no end date and may be canceled any time. Alternatively, you can pay upfront for a contract, which typically covers your anticipated usage for the contract duration. Any usage beyond contract will incur additional usage-based costs.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
If you are an AWS Free Tier customer with a free plan, you are eligible to subscribe to this offer. You can use free credits to cover the cost of eligible AWS infrastructure. See AWS Free Tier for more details. If you created an AWS account before July 15th, 2025, and qualify for the Legacy AWS Free Tier, Amazon EC2 charges for Micro instances are free for up to 750 hours per month. See Legacy AWS Free Tier for more details.
You pay by the hour based on the EC2 instance type you launch. Each dimension is one instance size, and the software runs on Windows Server with Oracle Database 21c Standard Edition preinstalled. Pricing scales with the compute, memory, and storage capacity of the instance you choose. Smaller shared-core sizes like t2 and t3 suit light workloads, while larger, memory-optimized, compute-optimized, storage-optimized, and bare-metal sizes support heavier production use. You run only the instances you need and stop paying when you stop them. The vendor recommends m5.large or larger.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one hourly unit include besides the EC2 instance itself?
Each hourly charge covers Windows Server with Oracle Database 21c Standard Edition preinstalled. You get a preconfigured ORCL database instance that starts on boot, the Oracle Listener on port 1521, and 24/7 support with a 24-hour response commitment. Underlying AWS compute and storage are billed separately by AWS.
Am I charged when I stop the instance to pause my workload?
The hourly software charge accrues only while the instance runs. When you stop the instance, hourly software billing stops. You may still pay AWS for attached storage, such as the 30 GB minimum disk, even while the instance is stopped. Billing resumes when you start it again.
How do I pick an instance size, and what is the minimum needed?
You choose one instance type at launch, and that sets your hourly rate. The minimum is 1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM, and 30 GB disk. The vendor recommends m5.large (2 vCPU, 8 GB RAM) or larger. Production database workloads benefit from more memory, so larger sizes cost more per hour.
