I am not sure about Oracle Secure Backup, but Commvault can backup to both S3 and Glacier without the advanced security option. It can do the same with Azure cloud, too.

DISCLAIMER:

I am an employee of Commvault Systems.

Does anyone know if we can use Oracle Secure Backup to AWS without separately purchasing the Advanced Security Option?

Here's what the Licensing Information documentations (https://docs.oracle.com/database/122/DBLIC/Licensing-Information.htm#DBLIC-GUID-75262092-CD86-4B30-A21B-92ECC1C2E130) states.  Interpretation or experience would be appreciated.

Oracle Secure Backup

Oracle Secure Backup Cloud Module

        

For backup of Oracle Database Enterprise Edition, Oracle Secure Backup includes restricted use licenses for:

 *

    RMAN backup encryption to tape or Amazon S3

 *

    RMAN backup compression leveraging LOW, MEDIUM, BASIC or HIGH
    algorithms

The Oracle Secure Backup special-use licenses apply to RMAN backup encryption, which is a component of the Oracle Advanced Security Option, and RMAN backup compression levels, which are components of the Oracle Advanced Compression Option. To use additional features of the Oracle Advanced Security Option or the Oracle Advanced Compression Option, you must license those options separately. In addition, the Oracle Advanced Security Option must be licensed when performing RMAN encrypted backups directly to disk whether or not Oracle Secure Backup is the media manager.
