1. What Databases CA supports in cloud?
Microsoft SQL Azure and Amazon Relational Database Services are supported as you can see in the Server Database Support Matrix at the following URL:

2. on RHEL EC2 instances does CA WAAE/WCC installation need to be done using id root ?
RHEL on EC2 is the same as RHEL on a physical machine. Root id is required to install CA WAAE/WCC.
3. on RHEL EC2 instances does CA Agent installation need to be done using id root ?
Root id is required to install the product.
4. For CA to run a job as certain id on the Agent, does that id need to be present on the server(/etc/passwd) or it can run jobs as Active directory users.
The user needs to present in a password database like local password file, /etc/passwd or NIS or LDAP. Note the the Agent does not authenticate the user but use getpwent to check the existence of the job owner and use setuid to run job's process under the job owner's Id.
