I'm not sure what experience you have, but I've run both their Enterprise licensed database on prem as well as migrated to Atlas and there have never been any licensing issues preventing vertical scaling of databases. One of our clusters on Atlas right now has machines larger than 256GB of RAM -- you're more limited by what your cloud vendor has available than Atlas.

Actually yeah for Atlas, I guess they automatically bill you as if it was 2-3x Enterprise Advanced licenses so there's no discussion. I thought it was the same as Enterprise Advanced but I guess not. With EA each unit above 256gb is billed as an additional license. See [0] [1] [2].

Oracle charges per 2 vCPU. This is quite standard.

In our case in the support call they just told us it wasn't allowed. Now I'm realizing they were wrong.
