AmazonRDS for Oracle is a fully managed commercial database that simplifies Oracle deployments in the cloud. Amazon RDS for Oracle offers the flexibility to customize your databases to meet your needs, including:

To estimate your monthly bill, try the AWS Pricing Calculator. You may qualify to receive promotional credits, AWS Investment through AWS Migration Acceleration Program (MAP), or other discounts for Amazon RDS for Oracle. Contact sales to learn about these programs and obtain a customized pricing quote.

To run a DB instance under the BYOL model, you must have the appropriate Oracle Database license (with Software Update License & Support) for the DB instance class and Oracle Database edition you wish to run.

You must also follow Oracle's policies for licensing Oracle Database software in the cloud computing environment. DB instances reside in the Amazon EC2 environment; Oracle's licensing policy for Amazon EC2 is located here.

Both pricing models offer Single-AZ and Multi-AZ deployments. Pricing is at the per-DB-instance-hour consumed. Partial DB instance-hours are billed in one-second increments with a 10-minute minimum charge following a billable status change, such as creating, starting, or modifying the DB instance class.

On-Demand Instances let you pay for compute capacity by the hour with no long-term commitments. This frees you from the costs and complexities of planning, purchasing, and maintaining hardware and transforms what are commonly large fixed costs into much smaller variable costs.

When you run your DB Instance as a Multi-AZ deployment for enhanced data durability and availability, Amazon RDS provisions and maintains a standby in a different Availability Zone for automatic failover in the event of a scheduled or unplanned outage. Learn more about Multi-AZ deployments.

Amazon RDS for Oracle T3 DB instances run in Unlimited mode, which means that you will be charged if your average CPU utilization over a rolling 24-hour period exceeds the baseline of the instance. CPU Credits are charged at $0.075 per vCPU-Hour. The CPU Credit pricing is the same for all T3 instance sizes across all Regions and is not covered by Reserved Instances.

* This is the average monthly payment over the course of the Reserved Instance term. For each month, the actual monthly payment will equal the actual number of hours in that month multiplied by the hourly usage rate or number of seconds in that month, multiplied by the hourly usage rate, divided by 3600, depending on the Amazon RDS for Oracle instance type you run. The hourly usage rate is equivalent to the total average monthly payments over the term of the Reserved Instance divided by the total number of hours (based on a 365-day year) over the term of the Reserved Instance.

** Effective hourly pricing helps you calculate the amount of money a Reserved Instance will save you over on-demand pricing. When you purchase a Reserved Instance, you are billed for every hour during the entire Reserved Instance term you select, regardless of whether the instance is running. The effective hourly price shows the amortized hourly instance cost. This takes the total cost of the Reserved Instance over the entire term, including any upfront payment, and spreads it out over each hour of the Reserved Instance term.

* This is the average monthly payment over the course of the Reserved Instance term. For each month, the actual monthly payment will equal the actual number of hours in that month multiplied by the hourly usage rate or number of seconds in that month, multiplied by the hourly usage rate, divided by 3600, depending on the Amazon RDS for Oracle instance type you run. The hourly usage rate is equivalent to the total average monthly payments over the term of the Reserved Instance divided by the total number of hours (based on a 365 day year) over the term of the Reserved Instance.

General Purpose gp2 volumes provide you the ability to select from 20 GiB to 64 TiB of storage capacity with a baseline storage performance of 3 IOPS for each GiB. Volumes below 1 TiB in size also have the ability to burst to 3,000 IOPS for extended periods of time. You will be charged for the storage you provision. However, you will not be charged for the I/Os you consume.

General Purpose gp3 volumes provide you the ability to select from 20 GiB to 64 TiB of storage capacity. With gp3 volumes, you can configure storage, IOPS and throughput independently and will be charged for the resources you consume above the baseline. gp3 volumes have a baseline performance of 3,000 IOPS and 125 MB/s throughput.

When you run your DB Instance as a Multi-AZ deployment for enhanced data durability and availability, Amazon RDS for Oracle provisions and maintains a standby in a different Availability Zone for automatic failover in the event of planned or unplanned outages.

Amazon RDS io2 Block Express volumes, our next-generation Provisioned IOPs storage, provides high performance, high throughput, and consistent sub-millisecond latency for your production database workloads.

When you run your DB instance as a Multi-AZ deployment for enhanced data durability and availability, Amazon RDS for Oracle provisions and maintains a standby in a different Availability Zone for automatic failover in the event of planned or unplanned outages.

With Amazon RDS for Oracle, you have the ability to select from 20 GiB to 3 TiB of associated magnetic storage capacity for your primary data set. Magnetic storage is supported for backward compatibility, and not recommended for any new storage needs. For any new storage needs, we recommend using General Purpose SSD or Provisioned IOPS SSD.

For Multi-AZ deployments, when you update your database, write I/O usage will double as Amazon RDS for Oracle synchronously replicates your data to the standby DB instance. Read I/O usage will remain the same when reading from the database.

Backup storage is the storage associated with your automated database backups and any customer-initiated DB snapshots. Increasing your backup retention period or taking DB snapshots increases the backup storage consumed by your database.

The monthly cost varies on a case-by-case basis. To help estimate your cost, fill out the pricing calculator with the following details, such as instance type, Region, licensing model, and storage needs, to get a rough estimate.

Amazon RDS for Oracle pricing consists of three main components: 1) instance type, 2) storage needs, and 3) licensing edition and model. Under instance type, key factors include size and number of instances needed to support your data needs, deployment options (Single vs. Multi-AZ), and pricing model (On-Demand vs. Reserved Instances). Instance pricing is based on usage-per-hour, whereas storage pricing is based on provisioned GiB per month.

Licensing fees are unique to commercial databases. Under Licensing, the major input is whether you plan to Bring Your Own License (BYOL) or choose the Licensed-Included (LI) service model. Only the License Included model is the cost for Standard Edition 2 (SE2) covered in the Amazon RDS for Oracle pricing for On-Demand and Reserved Instances.

Customers who choose the BYOL model will need to calculate the licensing fees separately from Amazon RDS for Oracle pricing. Under the BYOL model, the main cost driver is whether your applications require Enterprise Edition or if SE2 can support your database needs.

Oracle Database licensing costs for Standard Edition 2 (SE2) are included in the rate for License Included options only. License Included is available for both On-Demand and Reserved Instances across a range of instance types.
