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. This allows other accounts to provision their own Oracle Exadata infrastructure and ODB network 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 and ODB network 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 while allowing recipient accounts to create VM clusters

  • Optimize costs by having multiple accounts use the same infrastructure

You can use both sharing methods simultaneously based on your organizational needs.

Limitations for Oracle Database@AWS entitlement sharing

When sharing Oracle Database@AWS entitlements, keep the following limitations in mind:

  • You can only share with AWS accounts within your AWS organization

  • You cannot share with an entire organizational unit (OU) or the entire organization

  • An account can receive entitlements from only one buyer account (from one private offer)
