Oracle Database@AWS addressed latency-sensitive workloads by providing optimized placement of EC2 instances to achieve predictable sub-millisecond network roundtrip times for applications like payment and securities trading. This improves application responsiveness comparable to on-premises Exadata environments.
The feature uses existing AWS APIs to launch placement-optimized instances supporting low-latency connectivity to Oracle databases, currently available in multiple global AWS regions with plans for expansion. There is no extra cost for instances leveraging optimized placement for this service, facilitating migration of high-performance applications to AWS.
