A company wants to run Oracle Database Standard Edition 2 on Amazon RDS for a new application. It does not own any Oracle Database licenses and does not want to buy them separately from Oracle; it would rather the license cost be built into the price it pays AWS. Which option should the company choose?

Show answer and explanation

Answer:

  • B. The License Included model

Amazon RDS for Oracle has two licensing options. In the License Included model, you don't need to purchase Oracle Database licenses separately, because AWS holds the license for the database software and the cost is part of what you pay for the DB instance. On RDS for Oracle, License Included is supported only for Standard Edition 2 (SE2), which is the edition the company wants. Choosing between buying licenses and paying for them as you go is a core part of cloud economics.

Option A, BYOL, is for customers who *already own* licenses and want to reuse them. This company has none. Option C, Dedicated Hosts, is the choice when existing licenses are tied to physical cores or sockets and must be reused on EC2. It would also mean managing the database yourself instead of using RDS. Option D is a *pricing* commitment that lowers the hourly rate for a one-year or three-year term. It is not a licensing model, and it doesn't decide who provides the Oracle license.
