I’ve just had an exciting week at AWS re:Invent 2025 in Las Vegas, where I had the opportunity to meet with customers, partners, and our colleagues at Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Around this time last year, at re:Invent 2024, we announced Limited Preview of Oracle Database@AWS. This joint service is a natively integrated and interoperable solution between Oracle and AWS that offers Oracle AI Database services, managed by Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), running within AWS Regions and Availability Zones. Our shared vision remains as empowering customers with more flexibility in how and where they run Oracle databases and increase both the value of their enterprise data and the speed at which they can gain that value by bringing Oracle’s enterprise-class database services directly to AWS. Today, Oracle Database@AWS is generally available in 2 US Regions, with 20 more on the way in countries around the world. 

Looking back at our customer conversations, a few things stand out:

First, customers want simplified management for their database infrastructure. With an emphasis on the need for central and intelligent cloud data management to make it easy to integrate enterprise data with AI services, modernize data infrastructure and applications in the cloud, customers are increasingly turning to native cross-cloud integrations and managed services to deliver secure and reliable infrastructure. This is why we’ve made it simple for customers to procure Oracle Database@AWS services through the AWS Marketplace – either directly or through a Channel Partner Private Offer (CPPO) – and provision it into their AWS accounts alongside other AWS services.  Customers can easily migrate workloads to Oracle Exadata Database Service on Dedicated Infrastructure or Oracle Autonomous AI Database on Dedicated Exadata Infrastructure within AWS with minimal changes, full feature availability, architectural compatibility, and the same performance (or better) compared with on-premises. 

Second, customers want continuous innovations around deeper integration and interoperability between their Oracle AI Database services and the AWS ecosystem.  They want to work with complex network and account structures, and they want the ability to unify their business data with the over 200 services offered by AWS. They particularly want to combine the features of Oracle AI Database, like AI Vector Search, with AWS AI services to build rich new experiences by architecting AI and data together. With Oracle Database@AWS, customers can connect to their Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), control access with AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM), monitor with Amazon CloudWatch, and audit service operations with AWS CloudTrail. At AWS re:Invent 2025, we further announced native integration support for AWS Key Management Service (KMS) for Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) key management with Exadata Database Service.

And third, customers highlighted the importance of reliability and availability for mission-critical database workloads. With Oracle Database@AWS, customers can now migrate their most demanding Oracle AI Database workloads running in AWS, leveraging the capabilities of Oracle Exadata, Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC), and more. In addition to making our database services available within AWS, we’ve also worked closely with AWS to provide multi-Availability Zone and multi-Region architectures everywhere that Oracle Database@AWS is offered. Customers can take advantage of advanced resilience and high availability, with Oracle RAC, Oracle Data Guard, and Oracle Autonomous Recovery Service, achieving Gold MAA Certification for Oracle’s Maximum Availability Architecture (MAA). At AWS re:Invent 2025, we also announced automated data protection in real time using Autonomous Recovery Service. And with 20 more AWS regions coming live in the coming months, customers are able to seamlessly run their mission-critical workloads across the world.

We also had opportunities to speak with broader audiences at re:Invent 2025, and you can view the recordings of these sessions here:

It was great meeting with customers and hearing directly from them as they shared their plans, requirements, and goals for the future. Even better, many of their requests for future capabilities closely align with the work already underway by Oracle and AWS, reinforcing our shared vision for the roadmap ahead. Thank you to our customers and partners for the energy, engagement, and vision you brought to this year’s event. Here’s to a transformative year ahead and see you at re:Invent next year!
