Amazon RDS for Oracle now supports bare metal instances with Bring Your Own License (BYOL) license for Oracle Standard Edition 2. You can use M7i, R7i, X2iedn, X2idn, X2iezn, M6i, M6id, M6in, R6i, R6id, and R6in bare metal instances at 25% lower price compared to equivalent virtualized instances.
With bare metal instances, you may be able to reduce your commercial database license and support costs by using bare metal instances since they provide full visibility into the number of CPU cores and sockets of the underlying server. Most bare metal instances have 2 sockets while db.m7i.metal-24xl and db.r7i.metal-24xl instances each have a single socket. Consult your legal or licensing partner to determine if you can use bare metal instances with Oracle Standard Edition 2 and if you can reduce license and support costs.
Bare metal instances are available with Bring Your Own License (BYOL) license for Oracle Enterprise Edition Standard Edition 2. Refer to Amazon RDS for Oracle Pricing for available instance configurations, pricing, and region availability.
