Hi Sandra
Here are couple of good docs you can refer to on setting up Oracle on EC2.
It is possible to setup a data guard standby and switchover to it if you
are on a compatible OS on premises. As far as RAC is concerned, you can use
FlashGrid or VMWare cloud on Oracle.

Current OS: RHEL6
Oracle version: 11g (11.2.0.3 and 11.2.0.4)
We have started a project to move our 50 or so on-prem RAC databases to
AWS EC2 servers. Some use ASM, others do not. (I think the motto of
previous DBAs was "consistency is for the weak.".) We cannot upgrade the
databases (or the OS) due to a host of constraints put on us by the
applications and stakeholders. Using FlashGrid also is out of the question
since it would be an additional software cost.
I'm looking for good documents to read/follow that would tell us how to
set up ASM on the EC2 instances as well as the best method to move the RAC
databases. Has anyone done this that can point me to good documentation?
I also have some non-RAC databases to move. I was thinking of creating the
standby on the EC2 then doing a switchover during a migration window to
minimize downtime. Is this approach feasible? Would another approach be
preferable?
Thank you for any suggestions,
