Key Facts

1Oracle announced the general availability of Exadata Database Service on Exascale Infrastructure within Oracle AI Database@AWS.
2Oracle and AWS signed an expanded, long-term strategic collaboration agreement to accelerate customer cloud migration.
3Oracle AI Database@AWS is now available in 22 AWS Regions globally.

In a move reflecting the accelerating shift toward advanced cloud computing, Oracle and Amazon Web Services (AWS) have expanded their long-term strategic collaboration. Under this agreement, Oracle Exadata Database Service on Exascale Infrastructure is now generally available within the Oracle AI Database@AWS platform. This expansion aims to simplify database migration for enterprises and provide high-performance capabilities to support AI workloads with pay-per-use economics.

The service is currently available in 22 AWS Regions globally, enhancing the access of major enterprises such as CJ Olive Young and Kobalt Music Group to Oracle's cloud technologies. Per market data, ORCL shares closed at $153.28 while AMZN shares closed at $267.28 (close of August 12, 2026). This collaboration reflects both parties' desire to strengthen the cloud ecosystem, with Oracle gaining wider distribution via AWS and AWS enhancing its database and AI offerings.

Investors should monitor current price levels, as ORCL recorded a day low of $147.89 on August 12, 2026, while AMZN traded as high as $273.46 on the same day. Looking at the economic calendar, there are no direct upcoming events scheduled for Oracle or Amazon in the next few days; however, broader US macroeconomic data, such as Initial Jobless Claims which recently hit 199k, remains a factor influencing risk appetite in the tech sector.
