Choose an Oracle Database Edition:
When you select Bring your own license (BYOL), you also choose an Oracle Database Edition. The choices are:
Oracle Database Enterprise Edition (EE): For this license type the maximum allowed value for OCPU count is 128, however you may contact your Oracle account team to request more than 128 OCPUs. With auto scaling enabled you can use up to OCPU count x 3 OCPUs. For example, if you set the OCPU count to 128, you can use up to 384 OCPUs.
Oracle Database Standard Edition (SE): For this license type the maximum allowed value for OCPU count is 8. With auto scaling enabled you can use up to OCPU count x 3 OCPUs. This license restricts the number of OCPUs you can use to a maximum of 8 OCPUs, with or without auto scaling enabled.
The edition you select is based on the license you bring to Autonomous Database and changes the maximum value that you can select for the OCPU count.
See Use Auto Scaling for more information.
