Before you create an Amazon RDS Custom for Oracle DB instance, perform the following tasks.
Step 1: Create or reuse a symmetric encryption AWS KMS keyCustomer managed keys are AWS KMS keys in your AWS account that you create, own, and manage. A customer managed symmetric encryption KMS key is required for RDS Custom. When you create an RDS Custom for Oracle DB instance, you supply the KMS key identifier. For more information, see Configuring a DB instance for Amazon RDS Custom for Oracle.
You have the following options:
If you have an existing customer managed KMS key in your AWS account, you can use it with RDS Custom. No further action is necessary.
If you already created a customer managed symmetric encryption KMS key for a different RDS Custom engine, you can reuse the same KMS key. No further action is necessary.
If you don't have an existing customer managed symmetric encryption KMS key in your account, create a KMS key by following the instructions in Creating keys in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide.
If you're creating a CEV or RDS Custom DB instance, and your KMS key is in a different AWS account, make sure to use the AWS CLI. You can't use the AWS console with cross-account KMS keys.
RDS Custom doesn't support AWS managed KMS keys.
Make sure that your symmetric encryption key grants access to the kms:Decrypt
and kms:GenerateDataKey
operations to the AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role in your IAM instance profile. If you have a new symmetric encryption key in your account, no changes are required. Otherwise, make sure that your symmetric encryption key's policy grants access to these operations.
For more information, see Step 4: Configure IAM for RDS Custom for Oracle.
For more information about configuring IAM for RDS Custom for Oracle, see Step 4: Configure IAM for RDS Custom for Oracle.
Step 2: Download and install the AWS CLIAWS provides you with a command-line interface to use RDS Custom features. You can use either version 1 or version 2 of the AWS CLI.
For information about downloading and installing the AWS CLI, see Installing or updating the latest version of the AWS CLI.
Skip this step if either of the following is true:
You plan to access RDS Custom only from the AWS Management Console.
You have already downloaded the AWS CLI for Amazon RDS or a different RDS Custom DB engine.
To simplify setup, we strongly recommend that you use AWS CloudFormation templates to create CloudFormation stacks. If you plan to configure IAM and your VPC manually, skip this step.
Step 3a: Download the CloudFormation template filesA CloudFormation template is a declaration of the AWS resources that make up a stack. The template is stored as a JSON file.
To download the CloudFormation template filesOpen the context (right-click) menu for the link custom-oracle-iam.zip and choose Save Link As.
Save the file to your computer.
Repeat the previous steps for the link custom-vpc.zip.
If you already configured your VPC for RDS Custom, skip this step.
Open the custom-oracle-iam.zip
file that you downloaded, and then extract the file custom-oracle-iam.json
. The beginning of the file looks like the following.
{
"AWSTemplateFormatVersion": "2010-09-09",
"Parameters": {
"EncryptionKey": {
"Type": "String",
"Default": "*",
"Description": "KMS Key ARN for encryption of data managed by RDS Custom and by DB Instances."
}
},

"Statement": [
{
"Action": "sts:AssumeRole",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Principal": {

}
}
]
},...
Step 3c: Extract custom-vpc.json
Open the custom-vpc.zip
ï¬le that you downloaded, and then extract the ï¬le custom-vpc.json
. The beginning of the file looks like the following.
{
"AWSTemplateFormatVersion": "2010-09-09",
"Parameters": {
"PrivateVpc": {
"Type": "AWS::EC2::VPC::Id",
"Description": "Private VPC Id to use for RDS Custom DB Instances"
},
"PrivateSubnets": {
"Type": "List<AWS::EC2::Subnet::Id>",
"Description": "Private Subnets to use for RDS Custom DB Instances"
},
"RouteTable": {
"Type": "String",
"Description": "Route Table that must be associated with the PrivateSubnets and used by S3 VPC Endpoint",
"AllowedPattern": "rtb-[0-9a-z]+"
}
},
"Resources": {
"DBSubnetGroup": {

"Properties": {
"DBSubnetGroupName": "rds-custom-private",
"DBSubnetGroupDescription": "RDS Custom Private Network",
"SubnetIds": {
"Ref": "PrivateSubnets"
}
}
},...
Step 4: Configure IAM for RDS Custom for Oracle
You use an IAM role or IAM user (known as an IAM entity) to create an RDS Custom DB instance using the console or AWS CLI. This IAM entity must have the necessary permissions for instance creation.
You can configure IAM using either CloudFormation or manual steps.
ImportantWe strongly recommend that you configure your RDS Custom for Oracle environment using AWS CloudFormation. This technique is the easiest and least error-prone.
Configure IAM using CloudFormationWhen you use the CloudFormation template for IAM, it creates the following required resources:
An instance profile named AWSRDSCustomInstanceProfile-
region
A service role named AWSRDSCustomInstanceRole-
region
An access policy named AWSRDSCustomIamRolePolicy
that is attached to the service role
Open the CloudFormation console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/cloudformation.
Start the Create Stack wizard, and choose Create Stack.
On the Create stack page, do the following:
For Prepare template, choose Template is ready.
For Template source, choose Upload a template file.
For Choose file, navigate to, then choose custom-oracle-iam.json.
Choose Next.
On the Specify stack details page, do the following:
For Stack name, enter custom-oracle-iam
.
Choose Next.
On the Configure stack options page, choose Next.
On the Review custom-oracle-iam page, do the following:
Select the I acknowledge that AWS CloudFormation might create IAM resources with custom names check box.
Choose Submit.
CloudFormation creates the IAM roles that RDS Custom for Oracle requires. In the left panel, when custom-oracle-iam shows CREATE_COMPLETE, proceed to the next step.
In the left panel, choose custom-oracle-iam. In the right panel, do the following:
Choose Stack info. Your stack has an ID in the format arn:aws:cloudformation:region
:account-no
:stack/custom-oracle-iam/identifier
.
Choose Resources. You should see the following:
An instance profile named AWSRDSCustomInstanceProfile-region
A service role named AWSRDSCustomInstanceRole-region
When you create your RDS Custom DB instance, you need to supply the instance profile ID.
Configuration is easiest when you use CloudFormation. However, you can also configure IAM manually. For manual setup, do the following:
Step 1: Create the IAM role AWSRDSCustomInstanceRoleForRdsCustomInstanceIn this step, you create the role using the naming format AWSRDSCustomInstanceRole-
. Using the trust policy, Amazon EC2 can assume the role. The following example assumes that you have set the environment variable region
$REGION
to the AWS Region in which you want to create your DB instance.
aws iam create-role \
--role-name AWSRDSCustomInstanceRole-$REGION \
--assume-role-policy-document '{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Action": "sts:AssumeRole",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Principal": {
"Service": "ec2.amazonaws.com"
}
}
]
}'
Step 2: Add an access policy to AWSRDSCustomInstanceRoleForRdsCustomInstance
When you embed an inline policy in an IAM role, the inline policy is used as part of the role's access (permissions) policy. You create the AWSRDSCustomIamRolePolicy
policy that permits Amazon EC2 to send and receive messages and perform various actions.
The following example creates the access policy named AWSRDSCustomIamRolePolicy
, and adds it to the IAM role AWSRDSCustomInstanceRole-
. This example assumes that you have set the following environment variables:region
$REGION
Set this variable to the AWS Region in which you plan to create your DB instance.
$ACCOUNT_ID
Set this variable to your AWS account number.
$KMS_KEY
Set this variable to the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the AWS KMS key that you want to use for your RDS Custom DB instances. To specify more than one KMS key, add it to the Resources
section of statement ID (Sid) 11.
aws iam put-role-policy \
--role-name AWSRDSCustomInstanceRole-$REGION \
--policy-name AWSRDSCustomIamRolePolicy \

}
}
]
}'
Step 3: Create the RDS Custom instance profile AWSRDSCustomInstanceProfile
An instance profile is a container that includes a single IAM role. RDS Custom uses the instance profile to pass the role to the instance.
If you use the CLI to create a role, you create the role and instance profile as separate actions, with potentially different names. Create your IAM instance profile as follows, naming it using the format AWSRDSCustomInstanceProfile-
. The following example assumes that you have set the environment variable region
$REGION
to the AWS Region in which you want to create your DB instance.
aws iam create-instance-profile \
--instance-profile-name AWSRDSCustomInstanceProfile-$REGION
Step 4: Add AWSRDSCustomInstanceRoleForRdsCustomInstance to AWSRDSCustomInstanceProfile
Add your IAM role to the instance profile that you previously created. The following example assumes that you have set the environment variable $REGION
to the AWS Region in which you want to create your DB instance.
aws iam add-role-to-instance-profile \
--instance-profile-name AWSRDSCustomInstanceProfile-$REGION \
--role-name AWSRDSCustomInstanceRole-$REGION
Step 5: Grant required permissions to your IAM user or role
Make sure that the IAM principal (user or role) that creates the CEV or RDS Custom DB instance has either of the following policies:
The AdministratorAccess
policy
The AmazonRDSFullAccess
policy with required permissions for Amazon S3 and AWS KMS, CEV creation, and DB instance creation
To create CEVs or RDS Custom for Oracle DB instances, your IAM principal needs to access Amazon S3 and AWS KMS. The following sample JSON policy grants the required permissions.
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Sid": "CreateS3Bucket",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"s3:CreateBucket",
"s3:PutBucketPolicy",
"s3:PutBucketObjectLockConfiguration",
"s3:PutBucketVersioning"
],
"Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::do-not-delete-rds-custom-*"
},
{
"Sid": "CreateKmsGrant",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"kms:CreateGrant",
"kms:DescribeKey"
],
"Resource": "*"
}
]
}
For more information about the kms:CreateGrant
permission, see AWS KMS key management.
To create a CEV, your IAM principal needs the following additional permissions:
s3:GetObjectAcl
s3:GetObject
s3:GetObjectTagging
s3:ListBucket
mediaimport:CreateDatabaseBinarySnapshot
The following sample JSON policy grants the additional permissions necessary to access bucket my-custom-installation-files
and its contents.
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Sid": "AccessToS3MediaBucket",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"s3:GetObjectAcl",
"s3:GetObject",
"s3:GetObjectTagging",
"s3:ListBucket"
],
"Resource": [
"arn:aws:s3:::my-custom-installation-files
",
"arn:aws:s3:::my-custom-installation-files
/*"
]
},
{
"Sid": "PermissionForByom",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"mediaimport:CreateDatabaseBinarySnapshot"
],
"Resource": "*"
}
]
}
You can grant similar permissions for Amazon S3 to caller accounts using an S3 bucket policy.
IAM permissions required for creating a DB instance from a CEVTo create an RDS Custom for Oracle DB instance from an existing CEV, the IAM principal needs the following additional permissions.
iam:SimulatePrincipalPolicy
cloudtrail:CreateTrail
cloudtrail:StartLogging
The following sample JSON policy grants the permissions necessary to validate an IAM role and log information to an AWS CloudTrail.
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Sid": "ValidateIamRole",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": "iam:SimulatePrincipalPolicy",
"Resource": "*"
},
{
"Sid": "CreateCloudTrail",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"cloudtrail:CreateTrail",
"cloudtrail:StartLogging"
],
"Resource": "arn:aws:cloudtrail:*:*:trail/do-not-delete-rds-custom-*"
}
]
}
Your RDS Custom DB instance is in a virtual private cloud (VPC) based on the Amazon VPC service, just like an Amazon EC2 instance or Amazon RDS instance. You provide and configure your own VPC. Unlike RDS Custom for SQL Server, RDS Custom for Oracle doesn't create an access control list or security groups. You must attach you own security group, subnets, and route tables.
You can configure your virtual private cloud (VPC) using either CloudFormation or a manual process.
ImportantWe strongly recommend that you configure your RDS Custom for Oracle environment using AWS CloudFormation. This technique is the easiest and least error-prone.
Configure your VPC using CloudFormation (recommended)If you've already configured your VPC for a different RDS Custom engine, and want to reuse the existing VPC, skip this step. This section assumes the following:
You've already used CloudFormation to create your IAM instance profile and role.
You know your route table ID.
For a DB instance to be private, it must be in a private subnet. For a subnet to be private, it must not be associated with a route table that has a default internet gateway. For more information, see Configure route tables in the Amazon VPC User Guide.
When you use the CloudFormation template for your VPC, it creates the following resources:
A private VPC
A subnet group named rds-custom-private
The following VPC endpoints, which your DB instance uses to communicate with dependent AWS services:
com.amazonaws.
region
.ec2messages
com.amazonaws.
region
.events
com.amazonaws.
region
.logs
com.amazonaws.
region
.monitoring
com.amazonaws.
region
.s3
com.amazonaws.
region
.secretsmanager
com.amazonaws.
region
.ssm
com.amazonaws.
region
.ssmmessages
If you're creating a Multi-AZ deployment:
Open the CloudFormation console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/cloudformation.
Start the Create Stack wizard, and choose Create Stack and then With new resources (standard).
On the Create stack page, do the following:
For Prepare template, choose Template is ready.
For Template source, choose Upload a template file.
For Choose file, navigate to, then choose custom-vpc.json
.
Choose Next.
On the Specify stack details page, do the following:
For Stack name, enter custom-vpc
.
For Parameters, choose the private subnets to use for RDS Custom DB instances.
Choose the private VPC ID to use for RDS Custom DB instances.
Enter the route table associated with the private subnets.
Choose Next.
On the Configure stack options page, choose Next.
On the Review custom-vpc page, choose Submit.
CloudFormation configures your private VPC. In the left panel, when custom-vpc shows CREATE_COMPLETE, proceed to the next step.
(Optional) Review the details of your VPC. In the Stacks pane, choose custom-vpc. In the right pane, do the following:
Choose Stack info. Your stack has an ID in the format arn:aws:cloudformation:region
:account-no
:stack/custom-vpc/identifier
.
Choose Resources. You should see a subnet group named rds-custom-private and several VPC endpoints that use the naming format vpce-string
. Each endpoint corresponds to an AWS service that RDS Custom needs to communicate with. For more information, see Make sure your VPC can access dependent AWS services.
Choose Parameters. You should see the private subnets, private VPC, and the route table that you specified when you created the stack. When you create a DB instance, you need to supply the VPC ID and subnet group.
As an alternative to automating VPC creation with AWS CloudFormation, you can configure your VPC manually. This option might be best when you have a complex networking setup that uses existing resources.
Make sure your VPC can access dependent AWS servicesRDS Custom sends communication from your DB instance to other AWS services. Make sure the following services are accessible from the subnet in which you create your RDS Custom DB instances:
Amazon CloudWatch (com.amazonaws.
)region
.monitoring
Amazon CloudWatch Logs (com.amazonaws.
)region
.logs
Amazon CloudWatch Events (com.amazonaws.
)region
.events
Amazon EC2 (com.amazonaws.
and region
.ec2com.amazonaws.
)region
.ec2messages
Amazon EventBridge (com.amazonaws.
)region
.events
Amazon S3 (com.amazonaws.
)region
.s3
AWS Secrets Manager (com.amazonaws.
)region
.secretsmanager
AWS Systems Manager (com.amazonaws.
and region
.ssmcom.amazonaws.
)region
.ssmmessages
If creating Multi-AZ deployments
Amazon Simple Queue Service (com.amazonaws.
)region
.sqs
If RDS Custom can't communicate with the necessary services, it publishes the following events:
Database instance in incompatible-network. SSM Agent connection not available. Amazon RDS can't connect to the dependent AWS services.
Database instance in incompatible-network. Amazon RDS can't connect to dependent AWS services. Make sure port 443 (HTTPS) allows outbound connections, and try again. "Failed to connect to the following services: s3 events"
To avoid incompatible-network
errors, make sure that VPC components involved in communication between your RDS Custom DB instance and AWS services satisfy the following requirements:
The DB instance can make outbound connections on port 443 to other AWS services.
The VPC allows incoming responses to requests originating from your RDS Custom DB instance.
RDS Custom can correctly resolve the domain names of endpoints for each AWS service.
If you already configured a VPC for a different RDS Custom DB engine, you can reuse that VPC and skip this process.
Configure the instance metadata serviceMake sure that your instance can do the following:
Access the instance metadata service using Instance Metadata Service Version 2 (IMDSv2).
Allow outbound communications through port 80 (HTTP) to the IMDS link IP address.
Request instance metadata from http://169.254.169.254
, the IMDSv2 link.
For more information, see Use IMDSv2 in the Amazon EC2 User Guide.
RDS Custom for Oracle automation uses IMDSv2 by default, by setting HttpTokens=enabled
on the underlying Amazon EC2 instance. However, you can use IMDSv1 if you want. For more information, see Configure the instance metadata options in the Amazon EC2 User Guide.
