Based on our licensing experts\u2019 engagements with our enterprise customers in recent weeks, there is an increasing demand for clarification on the terms and conditions of the Oracle campaign: \u2018You\u2019re Spending Too Much on AWS\u2019. Paul Bullen, Principal License Consultant and Independent Oracle Expert presents in the following blog post an up to date and informative overview of the factors and conditions to take into consideration for customers seeking more information on this offer.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0<strong><em>\u2018You\u2019re Spending Too Much on AWS\u2019<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oracle.com\/database\/autonomous-database\/guaranteed.html\">campaign<\/a> by Oracle is based on an offer that guarantees a reduction in AWS costs for customers. Following an analysis by the independent licensing experts at Version 1 of the details of the offer, the following primary points can be noted if you are seeking a concise overview:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The guarantee was originally valid until the\u00a031<sup>st<\/sup>of May 2019, this has now been extended (due to demand or lack of uptake?) to 30<sup>th<\/sup> November 2019.<\/li>\n<li>Workloads must run in Oracle\u2019s Automated Data Warehouse Cloud or Oracle Autonomous Transaction Processing Cloud<\/li>\n<li>The offer only applies to the Bring Your Own License (\u201cBYOL\u201d) offerings of the above services<\/li>\n<li>It is asserted that workloads will receive the actual number of OCPUs\/VCPUs required (though the word \u2018required\u2019 is subjective)<\/li>\n<li>Time completed to perform the work is a key factor: Oracle\u2019s supporting marketing asserts that the Oracle Automated Database Services are significantly faster than Redshift<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As is commonplace with any \u2018special offer\u2019 with licensing \u2013 the fine print or what isn\u2019t stated in the marketing materials can be crucial in accurately planning your budget and comparing costs. One \u2018gap\u2019 in information encountered by our customers to date is that it has not yet been publicised or articulated directly in the campaign that both Oracle Automated Data Warehouse Cloud and Oracle Autonomous Transaction Processing Cloud (the only services to which this offer applies) require the Oracle Multi-Tenant database option as a pre-requisite, even though (as far as initial inquiries have found) the customer doesn\u2019t explicitly see any benefit from pursuing this option.<\/p>\n<p>Until the 30<sup>th<\/sup> of November 2019, Oracle is waiving<strong>[1]<\/strong>\u00a0the cost of this option: after which, it will be mandatory for customers to have licenses in place for Multi-Tenant ($17,500 list price per Processor + 22% annual support) and, additionally in the case of over 16 OCPUs (cores), Real Application Clusters ($23,000 + 22% annual support). These options are not required for deployment on Oracle DBSE2; this is worthy of consideration.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Customers should therefore include these very significant additional costs in any comparison between Oracle\u2019s Autonomous Database Offerings and any other cloud provider to accurately weigh up the costs.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Additionally, once the standby option is made available, customers will also have to additionally license Active Data Guard ($11,500 list price per Processor + 22% annual support).<\/p>\n<p>These options are unlikely to be in surplus (assuming a well-managed license estate) for customers to deploy after November 2019 and, when compared to typical Oracle enterprise license deals, they are unlikely to attract large discounts. This need to buy more license is unlikely to be seen favourably by customers; especially when the licenses are a fixed quantity with an upfront perpetual cost and associated annual support fees \u2013 and so not flexible compared to instance shapes.<\/p>\n<p>It should be noted that it would appear that any customer wishing to take advantage of the guarantee would need to share with Oracle their AWS based workload profile and existing AWS costs. Should Oracle be reducing the AWS bill in such circumstances then it does pose the question as to whether the AWS environment is properly tuned i.e. could the same savings be made on AWS if the workload is re-assessed.<\/p>\n<p>Should a customer get any credit from Oracle because of this guarantee, it will be applied to the customer\u2019s Universal Credit (Oracle\u2019s mechanism to allow a \u2018pool of cloud credits\u2019). This suggests that the customer\u2019s bill is not reduced as in a \u2018pay for only what you use model\u2019, rather the customer will receive credits to use on other Oracle Cloud services (which wouldn\u2019t be viewed as a cost saving if the customer does not specifically need them).<\/p>\n<p>In summary, there will be a very significant cost increase (from December 2019) for anyone using Oracle\u2019s Automated Database Cloud services due to the need to buy licenses for Multi-Tenant and potentially Real Application Clusters; these could add an unexpected cost of ~$50k per OCPU.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Time-Based Consumption Comparison<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Whilst many modern applications can make use of a serverless architecture spinning up infrastructure as required for short executions before shutting down again databases are not typically well suited to this. Most if not all databases in the majority of\u00a0businesses will be running at least for the duration of business hours if not 24\u00d77.<\/p>\n<p>Also given some options such as Oracle storage for autonomous is not payable by the hour, we have decided to show a cost comparison based on 1 month\u2019s consumption<strong>[2]<\/strong>.
