As a result, you will reduce your database instance size and support higher user counts.

Oracle customers have common questions about their licensing options when considering deployment to AWS. Oracle customers who do not proactively confirm their options risk spending too much on licensing. Customers may also face an Oracle audit that could expose avoidable license compliance issues. AWS has a variety of options for customers considering deployment of Oracle to AWS. When done properly, customers can significantly optimize their Oracle license costs when deploying to the proper AWS service.

To proactively identify and remediate potential errors, you need deep visibility into your entire HAQM RDS environment. This post shows you how Datadog can fetch data from HAQM CloudWatch and your HAQM RDS database instances to give you a comprehensive view of your cloud environment. We also dive into how you can automatically detect performance anomalies, abnormal throughput behavior, and forecasting storage capacities.
