Overall Satisfaction with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
The main reason for using the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is the Oracle database services provided in OCI like Autonomous database, Oracle Base Service and Exadata etc. Oracle is putting lots of innovations in it's Oracle database running into OCI and features being released first in the Oracle cloud. For our product cloud journey we were looking for the best place to run the Oracle database.
- 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.
- It is not a good option if your application uses a database other than Oracle.
- Limited open-source features in OCI creates vendor lock issue.
- Limited options are available as compared with Azure and AWS.
Microsoft Azure Cloud does not provide the native Oracle Database service with features like RAC, ASM Exadata, etc. Hence, we decided to use the Oracle Cloud for the database platform instead of Azure. Also, Microsoft and Azure came to an agreement to work together where Azure applications can use the Oracle Database Services from Oracle Cloud.
