We have a number of instances on EC2. They’re all using Data Guard for
replication and a few with 2 and 3 standby’s. we haven’t seen any issues so far.
Thanks,
Jeremy

Oracle lists Amazon EC2 & Microsoft Azure as Authorized Cloud Environments for
licencing purposes: https://www.oracle.com/assets/cloud-licensing-070579.pdf
I would assume that this means these platforms are supported?

Hi All,
Good day. We are evaluating the options on setting up a DR database on AWS. We
are looking at 2 choices 1) Restore of vm backup from Rubrik followed by rman
database backup restore (The last time i restored a db vm, database was in
consistent state and open which was surprising to me. That's a different
story.) 2) Set up a physical standby DR database. I was researching on this and
read about the guest machine dynamically moved on EC2 causing new CPU IDs
registered in the license tracking tables which can cause major trouble with
regard to licensing. So do we pin it to a specific host machine on EC2? Any
information on this is much appreciated. Any gotchas with regard to second
option on DR site? I understand oracle is not supported outside of their own
cloud solution, nevertheless people do host it on EC2. Thanks for your time and
assistance.
