VMware Cloud on Amazon Web Services (AWS) – Oracle licensing does not change from a licensing perspective

Whether you run Oracle workloads on a classic vSphere environment, Hyper-Converged Infrastructure solution like vSAN, or VMware Cloud on AWS

In the VMware Cloud on AWS every host has 2 sockets with 18 cores per socket. Therefore the effective number of cores for licensing Oracle workloads using Enterprise Edition (EE) for that 1 host = Absolute number of cores / per socket per host * Processor Core Factor = 2 x 18 x 0.5 = 18 effective cores per host
