Oracle Database@AWS reaches 20 globa locations with eight new additions

Oracle and Amazon Web Services just pushed their multicloud database arrangement into eight more regions, and the list reads like a tour of the cities enterprises care most about. Zurich, Milan, Spain, Paris, Osaka, Singapore, Melbourne, and São Paulo now join the roster, pushing the total to 20 active locations across Europe, Asia Pacific, and South America.

For organizations that have spent years running Oracle database infrastructure and building applications on AWS, the expansion addresses something fairly concrete. Oracle Database@AWS keeps Oracle hardware physically inside AWS data centers rather than bridging across the public internet. That setup matters because the connection between databases and applications stays tight, which is exactly what regulated industries and latency-sensitive workloads need before they commit to migration.

The journey to 20 locations started modestly. When Oracle and AWS first announced the arrangement back in September 2024, a single US East preview region was all that existed. By mid-2025, the offering opened up across US East and West, and the geographic rollout has moved quickly since then.

Zooming out, though, the AWS expansion is just one thread in a larger pattern Oracle has been weaving across the cloud market. A comparable arrangement with Google Cloud reached general availability in September 2024 and currently covers 15 locations, with two additional sites already confirmed. The Microsoft partnership runs even deeper, with Oracle Database@Azure going live in December 2023 and now spanning 33 regions, making it the furthest along in geographic terms.

Taken together, these three partnerships tell a consistent story. Oracle is no longer asking enterprises to choose between its database infrastructure and their preferred cloud ecosystem. Instead, it positions Oracle workloads as something that travels alongside whatever cloud platform an organization already relies on. For large companies carrying years of Oracle investment, that approach lowers the practical cost of moving forward without abandoning what already works.

In March 2026, Oracle also rolled out its Hosted Dedicated Region model, which deploys dedicated cloud infrastructure inside existing OCI public region data centers. That addition similarly targets organizations that need faster regional presence without the overhead of building standalone infrastructure from scratch.

Across all three cloud partnerships and the new hosted model, the direction Oracle is taking looks consistent: go where enterprise data already lives, and reduce the friction of getting there.
