Private Offer
Learn about the private offer purchase option for Oracle AI Database@AWS.
To receive a private offer, you first contact Oracle's sales team to negotiate a contract for Oracle AI Database@AWS with pricing based on factors such as length of contract, spend commitment, and number of Exadata hardware deployments. Billing and payment for the service is done through AWS. Payment for Oracle AI Database@AWS counts toward your AWS Commitments. Existing Oracle Database software customers can use the Bring Your Own License (BYOL) option or Unlimited License Agreements (ULAs). On your regular AWS invoices, you'll see charges for Oracle AI Database@AWS alongside charges for your other AWS Marketplace services.
After you successfully negotiate and sign a contract with Oracle, OCI creates a private offer for your organization in AWS Marketplace for you to accept. After your organization signs the purchase agreements, OCI creates an order in the AWS Marketplace and sends you an email confirming that the offer has been accepted.

AWS Brazil 2P support for Oracle AI Database@AWS
This offering is only applicable for customers who are located in Brazil.
Oracle AI Database@AWS is expanding support for customers in Brazil with a new procurement onboarding and purchasing model designed to make it easier for local customers to buy and activate services in a way that better aligns with local business requirements. This model is based on the AWS 2P program tailored for Brazil customers, which is intended for markets where the standard AWS Marketplace flow isn't the right fit. In Brazil, this offering helps address the import-tax law customers can face when services are procured through a non-local seller model. The AWS Brazil 2P Program is an initiative that enables Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) based outside of Brazil, such as Oracle, to authorize AWS to distribute their software solutions to buyers in Brazil. This program localizes transactions for Brazilian buyers, who are invoiced in their local currency (BRL), making it easier for Brazilian enterprises to access the full value of their data.
What is the AWS Brazil 2P Process?
The AWS Brazil 2P process is a localized purchasing model for Brazil in which customers procure services through AWS Brazil instead of the standard AWS Marketplace private-offer process under Oracle America Inc. Although the service remains Oracle AI Database@AWS, the purchasing, contracting, and onboarding flow differs from the existing model.
What This Means for Customers
This change primarily affects the purchasing and onboarding process; the underlying database service itself remains unchanged. After the service is activated, customers can continue using Oracle AI Database@AWS through the standard experience for provisioning and managing supported resources. The key difference is that customers in Brazil no longer onboard through an AWS Marketplace private-offer flow. They purchase the service through AWS Brazil and receive invoices from AWS Brazil.
In the Brazil 2P model, customers make commitment toward their spend. The model doesn't support spending over the committed amount, therefore there is no overage billing. Customers are expected to estimate and commit to the required amount in advance, and renew or replenish the commitment as needed.
Onboarding Steps
Following are the high-level flow customers can expect.
- Work with your AWS teams for your request
Work with your AWS account team to define the commercial terms of the subscription, including the committed spend for the term of the agreement.
- Review and approve the order
After the commercial terms are defined, you will review and approve the order through the AWS Brazil 2P process. This replaces the usual Marketplace private-offer acceptance flow.
- Receive activation information
After the order has been completed, you receive activation information on your AWS console that allows you to begin onboarding to Oracle AI Database@AWS for their AWS environment. This activation experience is familiar to the Oracle AI Database@AWS. For onboarding details, see Onboard.
- Activate in an existing OCI tenancy or create a new one
You can activate the subscription in an existing Oracle Cloud Infrastructure tenancy or create a new tenancy, depending on their deployment preference. For more details, see Link.
You can confirm Oracle AI Database@AWS activation by checking a few pages in the Oracle Cloud Console. For more details, see Verify.
- Start provisioning and using OracleDatabase@AWS
After activation is complete, you can access Oracle Database@AWS and begin provisioning supported resources. The overall service consumption experience remains largely the same from this point onward. You can also continue to use supported resource-sharing capabilities where applicable.
Billing and Usage
Your Brazil 2P subscription is based on a committed amount only. You don't use the usual AWS Marketplace private-offer flow, and overage billing isn't supported. As your usage gets closer to the committed amount, you receive notifications so you have time to renew or replenish. If your commitment is exhausted and you don't renew or replenish, your subscription moves toward suspension and then deactivation.
You receive the bill from AWS Brazil rather than through the normal Marketplace private-offer model. You will see billing for the 2P program in your AWS Billing console similar to how Marketplace invoices, separate from monthly consolidated invoices for AWS services.
