Oracle Database 21c XE on OEL 7 - Pre-Configured AMI by cloudimg
Deploy Oracle Database 21c Express Edition (XE) on AWS in minutes with this pre-configured Amazon Machine Image built on Oracle Enterprise Linux 7. Designed by cloudimg for developers, database administrators, and small teams, this AMI eliminates manual installation and configuration so you can focus on building applications and managing data.
What Is Included
- Oracle Database 21c XE pre-installed and configured for immediate use
- Oracle Enterprise Linux 7 as the base operating system
- Pre-configured Oracle Net listener on port 1521
- 24/7 support with guaranteed 24-hour response time from cloudimg
- Detailed user guide available in the Usage Information section of this listing
Oracle21c XE Resource Limits
Oracle Database 21c XE is a free-to-use edition with the following built-in resource constraints:
- Maximum2 CPU threads
- Maximum 2 GB RAM allocated to the database instance
- Maximum 12 GB of user data storage
These limits make XE ideal for development, testing, prototyping, and small departmental workloads rather than large-scale production environments.
Ideal Use Cases
- Development and prototyping: Application developers building Oracle-based solutions can use this AMI as a cloud-hosted dev/test environment before migrating to Standard or Enterprise Edition for production.
- Small business departmental apps: Teams running inventory systems, CRM modules, or financial reporting tools that fit within XE resource limits benefit from Oracle's reliability without Enterprise licensing costs.
- Database training and evaluation: DBAs and students evaluating Oracle features or preparing for certification can launch a ready-to-use instance without manual setup.
AWS Integration Points
- Amazon S3: Configure RMAN backups to S3 for durable, cost-effective database backup storage.
- Amazon CloudWatch: Monitor instance health, CPU utilization, and disk I/O metrics for your Oracle database host.
- AWS Systems Manager: Manage patching and configuration of the underlying OEL 7 operating system.
- Amazon EBS: Use provisioned IOPS or gp3 volumes for predictable database storage performance.
Security Considerations
The AMI is built with security in mind. Oracle21c XE supports Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) for data at rest and Oracle Net encryption for data in transit. We recommend buyers configure VPC security groups to restrict port 1521 access to trusted IP ranges and enable SSH key-based authentication only.
Getting Started
- Subscribe to this AMI from AWS Marketplace.
- Launch an EC2 instance (minimum recommended: t3.medium or larger with at least 4 GB RAM for OS overhead plus database usage).
- Configure your security group to allow inbound TCP on port 1521 (Oracle listener) and port 22 (SSH).
- Connect via SSH using your key pair.
- Access the database using SQL*Plus or Oracle SQL Developer with the credentials provided in the Usage Information section.
A comprehensive user guide with step-by-step deployment instructions is available in the Usage Information section of this listing.

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for the EC2 instance you pick to run this preconfigured Oracle Database 21c XE on OEL 7 image. Pricing is not tiered by features. Instead, each dimension maps to a specific EC2 instance type, and every listed type runs the same software. Your hourly rate scales with the size and family of the instance you select. Smaller instances like t3.medium carry lower rates, while large memory, compute, storage, or GPU instances cost more. Choose an instance that fits your workload; the software stays identical across all options. Minimum requirements are 1 vCPU and 1 GB RAM.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
The hourly rate covers the preconfigured Oracle Database 21c XE on OEL 7 image running on your chosen EC2 instance. AWS charges for storage and data transfer apply separately. The image includes the database service, sqlplus, the SSM agent, and CloudWatch agent, plus 24/7 vendor support with a 24-hour response target.
The hourly software charge meters running time only. When you stop the instance, the software charge stops accruing. Underlying AWS storage fees for the attached volume may still apply while the instance is stopped. Start the instance again to resume software billing.
Yes. Each instance type maps to its own hourly rate. If you launch or resize to a different type, you pay that type's rate for the hours it runs. The change is not automatic; you choose the type when launching. The software stays identical across all types.
