AWS odb documentation change
Summary
Added multiple documentation updates including IAM policy changes, new region support, resource sharing via AWS RAM, service integrations with VPC Lattice/EventBridge/S3, cross-Region subscription, and ODB peering connection management
Security assessment
While several changes relate to security-adjacent features (IAM policies, resource sharing controls, network peering management), there's no evidence of addressing specific vulnerabilities. The IAM policy update expands permissions for operational purposes rather than patching security flaws. Resource sharing and peering connection changes document security-related capabilities but don't indicate remediation of existing issues.

The supported physical AZ IDs are `usw2-az3` and `usw2-az4`. For more information, see [Supported Regions for Oracle Database@AWS](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/odb/latest/UserGuide/getting-started.html#supported-odb-regions).| June 26, 2025 +Oracle Database@AWS supports resource sharing across AWS accounts| You can now share Exadata infrastructure and VM clusters with other AWS accounts within your organization using AWS Resource Access Manager (AWS RAM). You can provision infrastructure once and share it across multiple accounts, reducing costs while maintaining separation of responsibilities. For more information, see [Resource sharing in Oracle Database@AWS](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/odb/latest/UserGuide/resource-sharing.html).| June 26, 2025 +Oracle Database@AWS supports integrations with AWS services| Oracle Database@AWS now integrates with VPC Lattice to enable Oracle managed automatic backups to Amazon S3 and direct ODB network access to Amazon S3. For more information, see [ Service integrations for Oracle Database@AWS](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/odb/latest/UserGuide/service-integrations.html).| June 26, 2025 +Oracle Database@AWS supports events in Amazon EventBridge| Oracle Database@AWS delivers events to Amazon EventBridge for monitoring resource lifecycle changes. Events are generated from both AWS and OCI sources, allowing you to track changes to ODB network, Exadata infrastructure, VM clusters, and databases. For more information, see [Monitoring Oracle Database@AWS events in Amazon EventBridge](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/odb/latest/UserGuide/odb-events.html).| June 26, 2025 +Oracle Database@AWS supports cross-Region subscription| Oracle Database@AWS supports cross-Region subscription, allowing you to subscribe once and use the service in all available AWS Regions. For more information, see [Subscribe to Oracle Database@AWS in multiple Regions](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/odb/latest/UserGuide/setting-up.html#cross-region-subscription).| June 26, 2025 +Oracle Database@AWS supports ODB peering connections as a separate resource| ODB peering connections are now a separate resource with dedicated APIs for creating, viewing, and deleting peering connections. You can create peering connections between an ODB network and a Amazon VPC in the same account or in different accounts. For more information, see [ Working with ODB peering Connections](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/odb/latest/UserGuide/network-peering.html).| June 26, 2025 +Oracle Database@AWS supports Autonomous VM clusters| You can now create Autonomous VM clusters on your Exadata infrastructure.
