Oracle XE on AWS License for Test Instance

Question

Can I install Oracle XE on EC2 instance for internal Test Server? I need to setup one web application for internal testing before I deploy to Production RDS instance.

Does license permit to use it on cloud for internal testing? I have already purchased Oracle RDS instance for production.

Here is what I understand is that - it can be used as production but limitation will enforced at XE Database that it will not use more than 1 CPU and 11GB of user data.

Oracle Database XE can be installed on any size host machine with any number of CPUs (one database per machine), but XE will store up to 11GB of user data, use up to 1GB of memory, and use one CPU on the host machine.

In addition to Oracle 11 XE, you can use other versions and use Oracle Technology Network License Agreement. You can download the following versions Oracle 18c, 12.2.0.1.0 - Standard Edition 2 and Enterprise Edition, 12.1.0.2.0 - Enterprise Edition, 12.1.0.2.0 - Standard Edition (SE2), 11.2.0.1.0 Standard Edition, Standard Edition One, and Enterprise Edition and use it only for the purpose of developing, testing, prototyping, and demonstrating without violating the license.

Oracle Technology Network License Agreement
