This document summarizes a presentation about running Oracle enterprise solutions on AWS. It discusses how several large customers have successfully migrated Oracle E-Business Suite, PeopleSoft, and Siebel applications to AWS. The presentation covers the architectures for running these applications on AWS, along with considerations for backups, high availability, and migration strategies using tools like AWS Database Migration Service. It also discusses a case study of how consulting partner Sierra-Cedar helped a customer migrate their PeopleSoft environment from their data center to AWS.
