Oracle Enterprise Applications on AWS

Here is a link a webinar this week:

https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/196693106

n this session, we will discuss strategies, tools, and techniques for migrating and running off-the-shelf Oracle  packages on AWS. We'll consider applications like Oracle eBusiness Suite, PeopleSoft, JD Edwards, Endeca, and Siebel. These applications are complex by themselves, they are frequently customized, they have many touch points on other systems in the enterprise, and they often have large associated databases. Therefore, they may not seem good candidates for the cloud at first look. Nevertheless, running enterprise applications in the cloud affords powerful benefits, and we'll identify the factors and best practices that most influence success. 

Migrate Your Business Critical Oracle Applications to the AWS Cloud Webinar

AWS CloudFront : points of interest when running Oracle

When using a content delivery network such as AWS CloudFront, one of the first questions is making sure the latest content is at the edge location.  The time-to-live (TTL) is set using the cache-control directive : Cache-Control max-age directive lets you specify how long (in seconds) you want the object to remain in the cache before CloudFront gets the object again from the origin server.  The minimum expiration time CloudFront supports is 0 seconds and the maximum is in the year 2038.   The default, if not set, is 24 hours.   Setting to 0 does not mean the web page will always go to the origin for its content.  It means that CloudFront delegates the authority for cache control to the origin, i.e. the origin server decides whether or not, and if for how long CloudFront caches the objects.

Using CloudFront with Oracle applications such as EBusiness Suite, Peoplesoft, or Siebel would be an interesting exercise as these products have very dynamic web pages.  There is the potential of pointing CloudFront to an AWS ELB which is front of an Oracle Applications deployment.  Not sure how much this would improve performance of the application?

Oracle licensing on AWS

Oracle licenses portability and support on AWS is a bit different between Oracle on EC2 and Oracle on RDS.  However, with both models you can Bring Your Own Licenses (BYOL). With RDS, you have the option of BYOL (Bring Your Own License) or License Included.  With Oracle on EC2, you can only BYOL. All Oracle licenses are portable to AWS as indicated here: http://aws.amazon.com/oracle/.   More details on how your Oracle licenses work on AWS can be found here: http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/pricing/cloud-licensing-070579.pdf.  The Oracle FAQ has more details on working with Oracle on AWS: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/cloud/faq-098970.html#Oracle_AWS.
