Frequently asked questions

When should I attach AmazonODBExadataInfrastructureAdmin?

The Oracle Database@AWS User Guide says you can attach it to your IAM identities to create and manage Oracle Exadata infrastructure resources. Add RAM permissions separately if you share infrastructure across accounts.

What does AmazonODBExadataInfrastructureAdmin grant?

On all resources it allows odb actions to create, update, delete, view and list Exadata infrastructure, list VM clusters and Autonomous VM clusters, view DB servers, and put, get and delete resource policies. It also allows ec2:DescribeAvailabilityZones, creating the odb.amazonaws.com service-linked role, and tagging Exadata infrastructure resources.

What are the security risks of AmazonODBExadataInfrastructureAdmin?

The policy can delete Exadata infrastructure and put or delete resource policies on all resources, and it can create the odb.amazonaws.com service-linked role. AWS managed policies don't grant least privilege permissions, and an AWS update to the policy affects every identity it is attached to.
