Oracle Database 21c Enterprise Edition - Production Ready on AWS
Get Oracle Database 21c Enterprise Edition running on AWS in minutes instead of spending hours on manual installation, hardening, and agent configuration. This pre-built AMI from cloudimg eliminates the complexity of deploying Oracle's converged database engine so your team can focus on application delivery rather than infrastructure setup.
Why Choose This AMI Over Self-Installation
Building an Oracle 21c environment from scratch typically requires installing the OS, applying security patches, configuring networking, installing Oracle binaries, and setting up monitoring agents. This AMI delivers all of that pre-configured:
- Pre-installed Oracle 21c Enterprise with native JSON storage, blockchain tables, and in-database AutoML ready to use
- Security-hardened OS with latest patches applied and automatic EBS optimisation enabled
- Monitoring agents pre-configured including AWS CLI v2, CloudWatch Agent, and SSM Agent for immediate observability
- Enhanced networking enabled with ENA Express supporting single TCP flows up to 25Gbps for RMAN and Data Pump operations
- EBS encryption support for data-at-rest protection using AWS KMS
Supported Operating Systems
Choose from Oracle Linux, AlmaLinux, or Rocky Linux at launch - giving you flexibility for licensing requirements, kernel compatibility, and organizational compliance standards.
Use Case Scenarios
Financial Services - Transaction Processing: Run mission-critical billing and ERP workloads requiring high availability and tamper-evident audit trails using Oracle's blockchain tables. Ideal for organizations processing high-volume transactional data that requires both SQL performance and immutable record-keeping.
Application Modernization - JSON Microservices: Build modern microservices that store and query JSON documents natively within Oracle 21c while retaining full SQL access. Eliminates the need for a separate document database, reducing architectural complexity.
Data Analytics and AutoML: Leverage Oracle's in-database machine learning capabilities to run predictive models directly where your data resides, avoiding data movement overhead for analytics workloads.
Licensing - Bring Your Own License
Use your existing Oracle Database Enterprise Edition entitlements (BYOL). This AMI does not include Oracle software licenses - you must hold valid Oracle licensing before deployment.
Security Hardening
The AMI ships with a hardened baseline including latest OS security patches, automatic EBS optimisation, and pre-configured monitoring for security observability through CloudWatch and SSM. EBS volumes support encryption at rest via AWS KMS for data protection.
Architecture and AWS Integration
The AMI integrates with core AWS services out of the box:
- Amazon CloudWatch for database and OS metric collection and alerting
- AWS Systems Manager for patch management, automation, and secure remote access
- ENA Express for high-throughput network performance on supported instance types
- Amazon EBS with optimised I/O configuration for database workloads

Support and Services
cloudimg provides SLA-backed 24x7x365 ticketing with an average one-hour response time, plus performance tuning and architecture guidance for Oracle on AWS.
This AMI is a repackaged upstream distribution provided by cloudimg. Additional charges apply for build, maintenance, and support. Oracle and Oracle Database trademarks are the property of their respective owners and do not imply endorsement.
Highlights
- 24x7 Expert Support with Average One-Hour Response - When your production Oracle database encounters issues at 2 AM, cloudimg engineers respond within one hour on average via SLA-backed ticketing. This means faster incident resolution compared to managing Oracle infrastructure with internal teams alone, reducing downtime risk for mission-critical ERP, billing, and analytics workloads running on AWS.
- Pre-Hardened and Pre-Configured AMI Saves Hours of Setup - Skip the manual process of installing Oracle binaries, applying security patches, configuring CloudWatch Agent, SSM Agent, and AWS CLI v2, and optimising EBS. This AMI delivers a production-ready Oracle 21c Enterprise environment in minutes, letting your DBAs focus on application tuning rather than infrastructure provisioning and hardening.
- Bring Your Own License with OS Flexibility - Use your existing Oracle Database Enterprise Edition entitlements on your choice of Oracle Linux, AlmaLinux, or Rocky Linux. OS flexibility means you can match your organization's compliance requirements, kernel compatibility needs, or licensing preferences without being locked into a single distribution.
