I think it's really important to know your rights when it comes to database licensing and the cloud.
I'm only going to talk about the database here, that it to say - oracle SE2.
What can I do with SE2, are there going to be significant performance issues if I used SE2? Perhaps, or perhaps not...
Description of support for SE2:In September, 2015 Oracle announced the withdrawal of Oracle Database Standard Edition and the availability of a new product, Oracle Database Standard Edition 2. This announcement is relevant for all JD Edwards customers who have licensed Oracle Technology Foundation for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne because this product includes a limited use license for Oracle Database Standard Edition.In light of the new Oracle Database Standard Edition 2 product offering, Oracle Technology Foundation for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne has been updated to include a restricted use license of Oracle Database Standard Edition 2. Refer to the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Licensing Information User Manual for a detailed description of the restricted use licenses provided in the Oracle Technology Foundation for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne product.
augmented with
Licence informationOracle Technology Foundation for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne may be licensed instead of EnterpriseOne Core Tools and Infrastructure for customers wanting the Oracle components but are not currently licensed for EnterpriseOne Core Tools and Infrastructure. The Oracle components included with Oracle Technology Foundation for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne are listed under "Entitled Products and Restricted User Licenses" below.Oracle Technology Foundation for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne would cover the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Core Tools and Infrastructure prerequisite requirement.
Entitled Products and Restricted Use LicensesA license for Oracle Technology Foundation for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne includes the restricted-use licenses of: Oracle Database Standard Edition 2; Oracle Internet Application Server Standard Edition; Oracle WebLogic Server Standard Edition; JRockit JVM; Oracle Application Server Portal; Oracle WebCenter Services; Oracle BPEL Process Manager; Oracle Business Activity Monitoring; Oracle Application Server Single Sign-On; Oracle Access Manager Basic; Oracle Application Server Web Cache; and Business Intelligence Publisher (formerly XML Publisher).
As noted in the preceding paragraph, a license for Oracle Technology Foundation for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne includes a restricted-use license for Oracle Database Standard Edition 2. Oracle Database Standard Edition 2 may be used solely in conjunction with any and all JD Edwards EnterpriseOne programs licensed under your agreement, including third party programs licensed for use with JD Edwards EnterpriseOne programs. Oracle Database Standard Edition 2 may be installed on an unlimited number of processors. When used with Oracle Real Application Clusters, Oracle Database Standard Edition 2 may be installed on any number of RAC nodes. If you require features and functions beyond those included with the Oracle Database Standard Edition 2, or if you require use of Oracle Database beyond your JD Edwards EnterpriseOne implementation, you may purchase a non-limited use license by contracting directly with Oracle or one of its authorized distributors.
A license for Oracle Technology Foundation for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne also includes a restricted-use license for the following components of Oracle Fusion Middleware: Oracle Application Server Standard Edition or Oracle WebLogic Server Standard Edition (either of these products may be used, but both products cannot be used for the same function); Oracle Application Server Portal; Oracle WebCenter Services; Oracle BPEL Process Manager; Oracle Business Activity Monitoring; Oracle Application Server Single Sign-On; Oracle Access Manager Basic; Oracle Application Server Web Cache; and Business Intelligence Publisher. These components may be used solely in conjunction with any and all JD Edwards EnterpriseOne programs licensed under your agreement, including third party programs licensed for use with JD Edwards EnterpriseOne programs. These components may be installed on an unlimited number of processors. If you require use of these components beyond your JD Edwards EnterpriseOne implementation you may purchase a non-limited use license for any of the Oracle components by contracting directly with Oracle or one of its authorized distributors.
As noted in the preceding paragraph, a license for Oracle Technology Foundation for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne includes a restricted-use license for Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher. Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher may be used to create or modify reports that use the Oracle supplied database schema, or modifications to that schema done to support modifications to supplied Oracle JD Edwards EnterpriseOne programs. For the avoidance of doubt, examples of uses that are not permitted include, but are not limited to, the following: adding new reports that support different applications or database schemas other than JD Edwards EnterpriseOne.
Summary
Point 1: Oracle Database Standard Edition 2 may be used solely in conjunction with any and all JD Edwards EnterpriseOne programs licensed under your agreement
Q: Does this mean things like DSI or reportsnow? I'm told YES
Point 2: Oracle Database Standard Edition 2 may be installed on an unlimited number of processors
Wow, so if you use RAC, you can have unlimited nodes for JDE with standard edition.
Point 3: Okay, you cannot used statistics and performance packs, that's a shame. But if you have a mature environment - you'll get away with it.
Point 4: data-guard. RDS is pretty much looking after this for you (and all the complexity). They are maintaining and shipping your logs to a remote replica and doing all of the network aliasing behind the scenes. This is SO easy to implement.
AWS summary:
This is where things get a little exciting. Lets look at RDS options for Se2
AWS tells us (and I believe their lawyers have done the work), that they can commission a 16 way SE2 machine with BYOL. And as clearly stated about, you have BYOL for as many cores as you can point your SE2 at... but limited to 16 because SE2 does that.
You could be addressing 16 cores and 488 GB of RAM under your standard JD Edwards agreement. For a multi AZ deployment in this situation, you'd be paying approximately 12,000 US per month, but a more modest 16 way with 122GB of ram is 3500 a month - not bad.
With my load testing experience in JDE, 16 cores goes a LONG way - you don't need parallel either for JDE (IMHO).
Remember that this is Highly available (without RAC), so you actually have two machines ready to process your requests if AWS lose an availability zone.
Above you can see all of the server classes that you can address for SE2.
I appreciate that oracle will probably have a different view on this and I recommend that you seek specific advice before acting on the above recommendation / opinion.
