  • Oracle Cloud Infrastructure has a generous free tier, moreso than other hyperscalers, with an always-free tier that guarantees certain products are always free
  • Oracle Cloud Infrastructure allows you to size VMs with differing combinations of CPU and RAM, which is contrary to other hyperscalers that have specific pre-defined combinations only
  • Oracle Cloud Infrastructure regularly provides free certification exam offers
  • This may be kind of obvious, but Oracle Cloud Infrastructure favours Oracle's own database products and there is limited opportunity to use, say, SQL Server as a serverless/managed database product. Thus if you use Oracle Cloud Infrastructure but want a non-Oracle DB you may need to run it on your own VM or migrate to something else
  • Other hyperscalers, such as GCP, have a greater focus/emphasis on AI and models, and this is something Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is not yet as well-established in
  • Other hyperscalers, such as Azure, have greater unification around its data/BI products and tools than Oracle Cloud Infrastructure currently has

  • scaling up when demand hits
  • easy configuration
  • solid front-end support.
  • In my opinion, the learning curve is relatively steep.
  • Oracle Cloud Infrastructure will take time to implement and tune
  • Pricing strategy could be better defined and explained.

  • Autonomous database.
  • Oracle Database Base service.
  • We can start with the small size of the Oracle Database scale-up as demand grows as opposed to the On-Premise Oracle Database setup.
  • No upfront investment in Oracle Database.
  • The latest and greatest feature is firstly available in the OCI for Oracle Database.
  • Costs are still high for using the Oracle Database.
  • Oracle Cloud is still lacking lots of good features which is available in the clouds like Azure, AWS, or GCP.
  • There should be open-source options & services available in the OCI.

  • Classic infrastructure ran well.
  • Common modules are easily accessible.
  • It wasn't overpriced compared to competitors.
  • Navigating the UI takes lots of getting used to. It reminds me of older GCP (just to get used to where everything is).
  • Permission for different things always seemed to be more difficult than it really needed to be. Once you got them set up you were good but updating anything or creating new permissions for just about anything took longer than I thought it should.
  • Based on how the buttons were laid out, it was pretty easy to delete all of your DNS records, and backing them up was not as intuitive as I'd like with the UI, but it was easy to do using a script.

  • Computer instance with arm processors and a lot of distro linux.
  • Very good price.
  • SLA, which others companies don't offer.
  • I think OCI can improve their courses area, with more beautiful presentations and straight-to-end goals. I think it's a good idea to hire some influencers to develop some applications in OCI, it will be a very good idea in understanding the basics.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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
