Oracle Database@Azure Pricing

Exadata Database Service

Oracle Database@Azure is purchased through the Microsoft Azure Marketplace, but pricing is the same as for Oracle Exadata Database Service running on OCI.

Exadata Exascale ECPUs have a 48-hour minimum commitment and 8 ECPU minimum per virtual machine. If a database instance is terminated less than 48 hours after it’s activated, billing will be for the full 48-hour period, then by the second after that. Each ECPU you add to the system is billed by the second, with a minimum usage period of 1 minute. For Bring-Your-Own-License (BYOL) details, including eligible Oracle on-premises software licenses and conversion rates (i.e., ratio requirement of software license metric to cloud equivalent metric), refer to the Oracle PaaS and IaaS Universal Credits Service Descriptions document.

Please visit the Oracle Cloud Price List for pricing information on other Exadata Database Service configurations.

* To make it easier to compare pricing across cloud service providers, Oracle web pages show both vCPU (virtual CPUs) prices and OCPU (Oracle CPU) prices for products with compute-based pricing. The products themselves, provisioning in the portal, billing, etc. continue to use OCPU (Oracle CPU) units. OCPUs represent physical CPU cores. Most CPU architectures, including x86, execute two threads per physical core, so 1 OCPU is the equivalent of 2 vCPUs for x86-based compute. The per-hour OCPU rate customers are billed at is therefore twice the vCPU price since they receive two vCPUs of compute power for each OCPU, unless it's a sub-core instance such as preemptible instances.

OCPUs are billed for active hours, per-second billing applies.
