Oracle has a number of different virtualization offerings: Oracle VM, Oracle VM VirtualBox, and Oracle Solaris Zones being the most prominent.
Oracle VM can be run on AWS, however, Oracle VM is a "bare-metal" / "type 1" hypervisor so it my does not run on top of an operating system or the Amazon Xen hypervisor. There are a number of Oracle VM Templates that can be used to deploy an Oracle technical or application stack in minutes. These templates can only be used to deploy to Oracle VM.
The Oracle VM VirutalBox is a type 2 or "hosted" hypervisor which means that it runs on a host operating system. Therefore, VBox templates can be run on Amazon Xen Linux or Windows instances.
Oracle Solaris is not supported on AWS so Oracle Solaris Zones (builtin OS virtualization) does not apply.
