Oracle Grid Infrastructure on Amazon's Web Services

The primary goal of this series of papers will be to document the process of installing, configuring and fine tuning an implementation of the Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM) 12c Cloud Control product suite on Amazon Web Services (AWS). Follow-on papers will cover in-depth utilization of the rich feature sets of both AWS and OEM.

The intended audience is individuals with at least some familiarity of these technologies, and who desire more in-depth coverage than that given in a cursory installation tutorial.

This series serves as a bridge between the thousands of pages of excellent but daunting official documentation, and the cursory installation tutorials which hide detail and provide a false sense of completion. The series should be used as a companion to the full installation guides. It will fill in details, show examples, explain pitfalls, and in some cases document items missing from other sources.

Some of the highlights are:

• Quick Start Guides serve as a guide to the overall text. These sections provide a step-by-step approach with references into the main text for further detail.
• Hundreds of links to authorization sources to help you understand not only what to do but why.
• Pointers for what to do when things go wrong with debugging tips.
• Extensive coverage of setting up Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud for and Oracle database.
• How to obtain access to Oracle's Knowledge Base and tools almost for free.
