Amazon RDS for Oracle

Amazon RDS for Oracle now offers 1-year and 3-year Reserved Instances for R8i and M8i instances with up to 53% cost savings compared to On-Demand prices. These instances are powered by custom Intel Xeon 6 processors, delivering the highest performance and fastest memory bandwidth among comparable Intel processors in the cloud. R8i and M8i instances offer up to 15% better price-performance and 2.5x more memory bandwidth compared to previous generation Intel-based instances.

Reserved Instance benefits apply to both Multi-AZ and Single-AZ configurations, allowing customers to move freely between configurations within the same database instance class type. These instances are ideal for varying production workloads and provide size flexibility for the Oracle database engine under the Bring Your Own License (BYOL) licensing model.

Customers can purchase Reserved Instances for Amazon RDS for Oracle in all AWS regions where R8i and M8i instances are available except the South America (São Paulo) Region. To get started, purchase Reserved Instances through the AWS Management Console, AWS CLI, or AWS SDK. For detailed pricing information and purchase options, visit Amazon RDS for Oracle Pricing.
