Oracle and AWS Expand Database Partnership for AI
Oracle and Amazon Web Services (AWS) have deepened their long-term collaboration to make Oracle databases easier to migrate and integrate with AWS analytics and generative AI services. Oracle AI Database@AWS is now available in 22 AWS regions, and Oracle announced the general availability of Exadata Database Service on Exascale Infrastructure, a shared-storage Exadata offering billed by compute and storage. The agreement includes direct integrations with AWS services (e.g., Bedrock, SageMaker, Redshift, S3, CloudWatch, EventBridge), partner-led migration support via AWS and Oracle partner networks, and customer deployments including CJ Olive Young, Kobalt Music Group, and Barcelona’s transport authority. The aim is to lower cost and complexity for smaller workloads, enable thin-cloning for dev/test, and provide AI features like vector search across enterprise data.
A major cloud and database partnership plus a GA Exadata on Exascale release from Oracle and AWS expands enterprise options to integrate Oracle databases with AWS analytics and generative AI, accelerating migrations and impacting cloud data architectures used across industries.
