Choose an Oracle Database Edition:
When you select Bring your own license (BYOL), you also choose an Oracle Database Edition. 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 ECPU count.The choices are:
Oracle Database Enterprise Edition (EE): For this license type the maximum allowed value for ECPU count is 512, however you may contact your Oracle account team to request more ECPUs. With compute auto scaling enabled you can use up to ECPU count x 3 ECPUs. For example, if you set the ECPU count to 512, you can use up to 1,536 ECPUs.
Oracle Database Standard Edition (SE): For this license type the maximum allowed value for ECPU count is 32. With compute auto scaling enabled you can use up to ECPU count x 3 ECPUs. This license restricts the number of ECPUs you can use to a maximum of 32 ECPUs, with or without compute auto scaling enabled.
See Use Auto Scaling for more information.
