What is Oracle Cloud Infrastructure?
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure combines the utility of public cloud with the granular control of on-premises infrastructure to deliver cloud infrastructure services. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure implements “off-box” or isolated network virtualization, which takes network and IO virtualization out of the server stack and puts it in the network. As a result, customers can provision self-service, dedicated hosts with no hypervisor overhead, noisy neighbors, or shared resources with a full software-defined layer 3 network topology. In addition, off-box network virtualization enables running bare-metal hosts side-by-side with any class of systems – from Virtual Machines to containers to optimized database systems like Oracle Exadata – all using the same set of APIs. With Oracle Cloud, customers can leverage unique Exadata capabilities (millions of IOPS, IO prioritization, columnar compression etc.) together with the cloud-native security and governance capabilities of a layer 3 virtual cloud network.
Since its launch in 2016, Oracle Cloud has expanded to more than 50 core services available in 24 cloud regions worldwide with a plan to reach 36 total regions by the end of 2020.

Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why
We used to implement security (Role-based access control and other security tasks) for our clients. The company used to purchase Oracle Cloud Infrastructure as a cloud solution for their legacy migrations. I was a cyber cloud architect for our team. The product was used to address financial systems such as ERP, which Oracle Cloud Infrastructure supported.
- Strong IAM policies
- Good Oracle Support
- Easy to use
- Location based access control
- Casb is new and weak

Honest unbiased opinion.
We use Oracle Cloud Infrastructure for WAF and CASB in one of my client environments. The scope of the use case is to have a product in the cloud and not on-prem. This works well with the management of cloud WAFs.
- CASB
- WAF
- Logging
- scalability
- cost

Great for large companies, reporting could improve.
We use oracle constantly for our expense tracking needs. We have set up a process to expedite the approval and coding process. This has helped us save time organizing receipts and expenses to validate amounts.
- Speedy loading.
- Helpful hints.
- Easy storage.
- Autonomous guiding is more user-friendly. The setup is kind of complicated but the use afterward could be cleaned up.
- Custom application database usage could be more accessible.
- Security for applications to improve or update frequently. Lots of breaches and changes lately with data protection.

Growing pains, a great cloud platform experience.
The Finances department uses the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure for accounting and managing the expenses of the organization. It is a non-profit organization that makes the most of the platform for creating sandboxes to automate processes for monitoring and running reports. The platform is essential for small to mid-size organizations, with many user-friendly features. The business team is satisfied with Oracle Cloud infrastructure, which gives them better visibility of their products on hand.
- Centralized financial reporting
- Procurement and Fulfillment
- Inventory Management
- Service Support - takes forever to create a support ticket
- Documentation - needs to be topic-focus structured
- Provide Feedback link - window revamps instructions and makes input details more visible.

Sunshine at Oracle Cloud
We help clients set up Oracle services in OCI, including database servers, GoldenGate MA configuration, deployments, etc. One of the problems I have with OCI is the lack of a data center on the west coast (I'm in Canada). Toronto is the only choice, which makes some of our clients on the west coast suffer. We have one client out there who planned to use OGG on OCI to replicate transactions, but due to the network constraints, they ended up using in-house OGG instead.
- Scaling up and down with ease
- Seamless integration with Oracle products like RDBMS, OGG, etc.
- Cost for storage
- Support - Having to continue asking for escalation in SRs is never a good practice
- VCN
- DC on the west coast
- The OCI interface is confusing and non-intuitive
We run test/dev environments in our Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Tenancy. We test implementations of various Oracle stacks like - Oracle Databases, Oracle E-Business Suite, Oracle Weblogic Suits, etc. We perform version upgrades, run migration scenarios, and take notes of the issues we face. This gives us advantages when we perform the same for our customers so we already know what to expect and how to mitigate these issues.
- Cross-Region backup of Boot & Block volumes
- Cross-Region replication of boot & block volumes to the paired region
- Resource Manager - Managed Terraform
- File Storage - There should be native cross-region replication support
- Block Volume & Boot Volume cross-region backup - it's very confusing to know the actual source volume from the backup using only the source. Either source tags of volume names should be attached to the cross-region backup
- There should be a native DR management tool, which can help to configure types of DR - Pilot Light, Warm Standby, Active-Active
- Oracle Cloud Infrastructure should provide more Linux Images like - RHEL, SUSE, Debian, Alma Linux/Rocky Linux. With native billing for RHEL & SUSE
we use multiple [Oracle Cloud Infrastructure] compute instances, block volumes, object storage, VCN aggressively for our multiple customers. Many of the customers have already moved their DC to [Oracle Cloud Infrastructure], also a few of them uses [Oracle Cloud Infrastructure] as their DR solution.
- love the oci console , its very simple to use than before.
- oci rewards system is pretty interesting.
- oci security much better than other OEM's.
- Though the navigation has been simplified a lot I believe it can be simplified more just like AWS.
- cost details analysis gets delayed sometimes. This needs to settle.
- More insights on offerings of different services provided in OCI
Use oracle cloud infrastructure to host our in-house product application business customer-facing software as a service application. The application uses computer instances that are hosted in the network and use the storage, which consists of the DataBase, logging, and bucket. Cloud infrastructure reliability and speed into the next level, even though there are multiple cloud providers or I can help us to integrator requirements with the help of their team be very able to migrate from an on-premise solution to Cloud within days without affecting their business. We take security into consideration very much and are very able to integrate the best of security, compliance, data handling guidance, protection of privacy of our customers, logging and all the government relations at all geography to be set up at the best places that are actually provided.
- Superior Performance
- Built in security
- High Availability
- Powerful Developer tools and Built in APIs
- Services
- Integration with Services
- More Products compared to competitiors
- Better Pricing

Ideal to start in the cloud
We use the Oracle Cloud infrastructure to move the entire data center to the cloud. Critical services have 24/7 availability, guaranteeing the SLA of our clients. We improve connectivity by reducing energy costs within our offices.
The migration process was transparent for the users, migrating the virtual disks directly from our Vmware infrastructure.
- Cost reduction with local invoicing in the country
- excellent after sales support
- constant growth in the services offered
- They must have a CDN Services
We are using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure for running the dev, staging, and production environment of multiple services. We use VM, Kubernetes service, and database services for running the majority of the application. The benefits we have seen are highly available, scalable, and robust infrastructure at a low cost as compared to other providers in the market. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure provides direct support of Terraform which helps our infra team to create and scale infrastructure quickly.
- Database services are best in class
- Services are highly available and scalable
- Datacentres are available in almost all the regions
- It's good for running the microservices application in Kubernetes
- Limited OS images for Virtual Machines
- Depends on third party services for CI-CD automation
- User Interface is very out-dated
- Currently, the community is very small so some troubleshooting takes more time

Stellar Uptime and Unexpected Datacenter Regions, You Should Give Oracle Cloud a Try!
We have several business applications that need to reside within the geographic boundaries of a country, we were looking for a HIPAA Certified cloud provider with a fully operational data center in that specific country, luckily, oracle did have a cloud data center in the country. It was our first experience with Oracle Cloud, we needed a few virtual machines with network security, VPN, and load balancing and backup, oracle cloud did provide the needed for us and it was overall a pleasant experience.
- Exists in unusual countries/regions, this is a big advantage
- Data center uptime is excellent, in almost 3 years, it never went down, not even once
- Performance is also great, we never experienced performance issues with the resources provided
- Simplicity, the admin portal is difficult to use
- Pricing/Billing details, it was difficult for us to understand the billing model
- Pricing Cost Estimator is also exceedingly difficult to understand/relate, overall, it is hard to know how much something will cost on Oracle Cloud

OCI changed the cloud infrastructure game
Improves dynamism and time to provisioning in highly changing environments. In addition, the benefit is obtained economically by being able to provision computing units in a flexible way both on-demand and automated. On the other hand, being able to deploy virtual machines in lift and shift mode is tremendously convenient for infrastructures that have a very strong dependency on legacy systems.
- Load balancer as a service
- Dynamic OCPU Auto Provisioning
- Integration with VMWare
- Network layout
- Improve integration with other hypervisors, apart from VMWare
- Expand list of supported Operating Systems

OCI - Perfect for saving money on a Database License
Amongst many other reasons, we use OCI for its low price of computing and storage, for the possibility to use this database service as pay-per-use. This means for a small project, or projects with a short life span, we don't need to pay a Database License in advance. Even the flexibility of the Cloud is applied to the cost of a database license.
- Oracle Database activity
- Native Disaster Recovery
- Migration
- I would like a better way to distribute the costs of the infrastracture between different clients

- Simple configuration and deployment of cirtual machines
- Great security
- High availability
- for me it is a little harder to use SQL Databases
January 03, 2022
Very good for any start.
We use OCI mostly for education and testing Cloud technology. Creating VCN, compute shapes to simulate environment and situation which is interested in us. In that way we can which is the cost of using any resources like ingress, egress, VM in the state when is stoped or minimal usage. Very good for that situation.
- Testing
- Education
- Usage
- Complexity
- Response of OCI
- Improve web site

Enormous time-saver for high computing projects
Cloud Infrastructure was particularly useful for storing several iterations of different simulations and helped put them in a localized area that didn't necessarily require remote access software. The cloud was so fast and not only stored and managed all of our simulations but provided a fast area to run them as well for when analysis and calculations were quickly needed for a new iteration
- Rapid and Mass storage of complex files
- The best High performance computing solutions to offer in the industry
- Excellent Artificial Intelligence integration for running iterative simulations
- Sometimes integration of artificial intelligence was janky and difficult but eventually able to get it working with all files
- Merging with third-party software is also quite tricky despite supposedly being a good feature
