Oracle Database@AWS is now available in EU-West-1 (Dublin), starting with one Availability Zone (AZ).

With expansion to the Dublin region, customers with data residency requirements in that region can migrate their on-premises Oracle Exadata and RAC applications to AWS.

With this expansion, Oracle Database@AWS services are now available in eight Regions: US-East-1 (N. Virginia), US-West-2 (Oregon), US-East-2 (Ohio), CA-Central-1 (Canada Central), EU-Central-1 (Frankfurt), EU-West-1 (Dublin), AP-Northeast-1 (Tokyo), and AP-Southeast-2 (Sydney). To use Oracle Database@AWS services, request a private offer from Oracle through the AWS Marketplace, and use AWS Management Console to setup and use your databases.
