Amazon RDS for Oracle is now available with R7i memory-optimized instances offering up to 64:1 memory-to-vCPU ratio

Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) for Oracle is now available with R7i memory-optimized preconfigured instances that offer additional memory and storage I/O per vCPU. Powered by custom 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors with AWS Nitro System and DDR5 memory for high performance, these instances provide up to 64:1 memory-to-vCPU ratio. Many Oracle database workloads require high memory, but can safely reduce the number of vCPUs without impacting application performance. By running such Oracle database workloads on R7i pre-configured instances, customers can lower their Oracle database licensing and support costs while meeting high performance application requirements.

Memory optimized R7i pre-configured instances are available for Amazon RDS for Oracle with Bring Your Own License (BYOL) license model supporting both Oracle Database Enterprise Edition and Oracle Database Standard Edition 2.
