As per Oracle's instructions - https://linux.oracle.com/switch/centos/ adding the GPG key is no longer needed, the bad news is - the procedure documented by Oracle throws a "Broken pipe" error, and the OS left in an unusable state (all Yum configuration disappears):
How to fix (basically just nohup the script).
Start with the CentOS 6 (x86_64) - with Updates HVM on the AWS Marketplace (provided by CentOS.org). After logging in (as the centos user) run the following commands as root:
If you feel the need to roll your own Oracle Linux install on Amazon EC2 (since Oracle no longer provides an officially-supported AMI, and you may not be too keen on using one of the community AMI's):

1 | curl -O https://linux.oracle.com/switch/centos2ol.sh |
The script does some package updating that cuts the SSH connection to the EC2 instance, and when the connection gets cut, the script dies in the middle with a "Broken pipe" and leaves the OS in an unusable state. By using nohup we avoid the broken pipe issue.
After the conversion script completes, run the following:
Step 4 will no longer be required, and you can proceed to install the Oracle software prerequisites.
Old Information Below:After the conversion script completes, run the following:
1 | yum distro-sync |

If you feel the need to roll your own Oracle Linux install on Amazon EC2 (since Oracle no longer provides an officially-supported AMI, and you may not be too keen on using one of the community AMI's):
(1) launch an EC2 image using the CentOS 6.5 AMI from the Marketplace (which is free..) then log in as root (not ec2-user)
(2) import the Oracle GPG key
1 | cd /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/ |
(3) use the Oracle specific rules to convert the CentOS 6 to OL from this document. Specifically, run the following commands as root:
1 | curl -O https://linux.oracle.com/switch/centos2ol.sh |
(4) Synchronize the yum repository
1 | yum -y upgrade |
Once the command completes, the end-user should have a fully-patched Oracle Linux 6.7.
If you intend to install Oracle Database 11gR2, you can apply all the necessary packages and kernel parameters with this command:
and if you will install Oracle Database 12c R1, use the following:
If you intend to install Oracle Database 11gR2, you can apply all the necessary packages and kernel parameters with this command:
1 | yum install oracle-rdbms-server-11gR2-preinstall -y |
and if you will install Oracle Database 12c R1, use the following:
1 | yum install oracle-rdbms-server-12cR1-preinstall -y |
