OCI vs AWS

If we talk about cloud, the first provider we think about is one of the top 3 providers

  • AWS Cloud
  • Microsoft Azure Cloud
  • Google Cloud

I am not going into deep market analysis but, these are market key player who drives the CLOUD Market, however, there are other vendors as well like IBM, ORACLE, Alibaba etc.

Recently, Oracle is aggressively started to push into it’s Cloud infrastructure to compete with these market giant.

Every CLOUD provider have the similar concept and business modal which values to CLOUD. They all are providing IaaS/PaaS/Saas with different pricing modal without any upfront commitment, which make CLOUD as a viable option for the utilization. The same is with oracle.
