Overview
Spinnaker's Oracle Database third-party support on AWS gives customers a lower-cost, higher control support model for Oracle Database environments running on AWS. The service helps organizations maintain availability and performance, resolve issues quickly, and significantly reduce annual Oracle support costs without requiring a database upgrade or disrupting the existing application roadmap.
Spinnaker Support engineers work with the customer's DBA, application, infrastructure, and security teams to support Oracle Database on Amazon EC2 and, where applicable, Amazon RDS for Oracle. Coverage includes incident response, troubleshooting, performance and configuration guidance, security and vulnerability mitigation, and operational health reviews tuned for AWS. Customers keep control of when and whether to upgrade and can plan next steps such as cost optimization on AWS or a move to PostgreSQL when the business is ready.
Service Scope
• Support for Oracle Database on AWS across agreed releases and deployment models, including single-instance, Oracle RAC, and Data Guard configurations on Amazon EC2, and Amazon RDS for Oracle where applicable.
