Part 1: Running Oracle E-Business Suite on Oracle Cloud

You can now run Oracle E-Business Suite on Oracle Cloud.  EBS customers can take advantage of rapid environment provisioning, elastic infrastructure that scales up on demand, and a pay-as-you-go model to reduce capital expenditures.

EBS customers have the option of deploying their EBS 12.1.3 and 12.2 environments on the Oracle Compute Cloud Service, and optionally in combination with the Oracle Database Cloud Service (DBCS), or the Exadata Cloud Service.

What EBS customers can do on the cloud

• Provision new instances of E-Business Suite
• Clone your own E-Business Suite environments to the cloud
• Deploy development tools for E-Business Suite
• Customize and extend your cloud-based E-Business Suite environments
• Migrate those customizations to other cloud-based or on-premise EBS environments
• Manage cloud and on-premise EBS environments using Oracle Application Management Suite
• Use your certified third-party products with EBS cloud-based environments

What additional fees are required for EBS customers?

Oracle Cloud resources and services are available for subscription by Oracle customers. Customers who already own Oracle E-Business Suite product licenses may use their Oracle Cloud subscription to provision and deploy Oracle E-Business Suite instances on the Oracle Cloud. The deployed instances may be used for development, testing, training, production, etc. Once a customer acquires a subscription to Oracle Cloud, no additional Oracle E-Business Suite license or usage license is required.

Do I need to purchase EBS product licenses?

Oracle customers who already own Oracle E-Business Suite licenses may use the Oracle Cloud to host instances of their applications. Oracle’s Compute Cloud uses a “Bring your Own License” model, so customers who wish to use the Oracle Compute Cloud must already own a valid license to the software deployed on virtual machines in Oracle Compute Cloud.
