Oracle Database 12.2 Standard Edition 2 AMI by cloudimg
Deploy Oracle Database 12c Release 2 Standard Edition 2 on AWS in minutes with a pre-configured, hardened AMI backed by 24x7x365 engineer-led support and a guaranteed 24-hour response SLA.
Why Choose This AMI
Oracle Database 12.2 SE2 is licensed for servers with up to two CPU sockets and sixteen CPU threads, giving small and mid-size organisations proven Oracle security, PL/SQL, and compression features at a fraction of Enterprise Edition cost. Supported on Oracle Linux 8 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8(x86-64).
cloudimg engineers specialise in installing, operating, and optimising Oracle on AWS. When you launch this AMI you get direct access to that expertise through SLA-backed ticketing and architecture guidance - not a generic help desk.
Security Hardening Details
- Encryption at rest - EBS volumes support AWS-managed or customer-managed KMS keys; Oracle Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) is available for tablespace-level encryption.
- Minimal attack surface - Only required ports are open by default; unnecessary OS services are disabled.
- Latest security patches - The AMI is rebuilt with current Oracle and OS patches on a regular cadence.
- Audit logging enabled - Oracle unified auditing is configured out of the box for compliance visibility.
- Network isolation ready - Deploy into private VPC subnets with security groups restricting access to known CIDR ranges.
Key AWS Integration Points
- One-click launch - Production-ready on Oracle Linux, AlmaLinux, or CentOS AMIs.
- Enhanced Networking (ENA) - ENA Express raises single-flow bandwidth to 25Gbps for rapid backups and data transfers.
- Observability built in - AWS CLI v2, CloudWatch Agent, and SSM Agent come pre-installed for unified monitoring and automation.
- EBS optimised - Automatic EBS optimisation for sustained I/O performance.
Common Use Cases
- Departmental ERP, CRM, and analytics that need Oracle compatibility without Enterprise-level extras.
- ISV appliances licensed under BYOL where customers supply existing SE2 entitlements.
- Development, QA, and training environments mirroring on-premises Oracle deployments.
Getting Started
- Launch the AMI from AWS Marketplace with your preferred instance type (r5 or m5 families recommended).
- Connect via SSH and verify the Oracle listener is running.
- Configure your database SID, tablespaces, and user accounts.
