Entitlement sharing in Oracle Database@AWS
With Oracle Database@AWS, you can share AWS Marketplace entitlements for Oracle Database@AWS across AWS accounts in the same AWS organization. With this sharing, other accounts can provision their own Oracle Exadata infrastructure, ODB network, Autonomous Database Serverless (ADB-S), and Oracle Exadata Database Service on Exascale Infrastructure (ExaDB-XS) resources using your subscription.
Sharing methods
Oracle Database@AWS supports two methods for sharing:
Entitlement sharing with AWS License Manager
-
Grant other accounts the ability to provision their own Oracle Exadata infrastructure, ODB network, ADB-S, and ExaDB-XS resources
-
Each account operates independently with full resource lifecycle control
-
Best for enabling self-service provisioning across teams or business units
Resource sharing with AWS Resource Access Manager (AWS RAM)
-
Share already provisioned Oracle Exadata infrastructure and ODB network resources
-
Centralize infrastructure management and allow recipient accounts to create VM clusters, ADB-S instances, or ExaDB-XS resources
-
Optimize costs by having multiple accounts use the same infrastructure
You can use both sharing methods simultaneously based on your organizational needs.
