AWS stages Oracle database maintenance resources to shorten downtime

AWS says Amazon RDS for Oracle now reduces downtime for automatic minor version upgrades and scheduled minor version and operating system updates. The service prepares maintenance resources up to 30 minutes before the maintenance window while the database continues serving workloads, instead of preparing them after maintenance starts. The change covers Enterprise Edition and Standard Edition 2 at no additional cost in all commercial AWS and US GovCloud regions offering RDS for Oracle. Instances with automatic minor version upgrades enabled benefit automatically. If preparation cannot finish, maintenance proceeds within the window without the staged resources; conflicting customer changes trigger a rollback of preparation.
