genuinely curious what kind of demographic is leveraging Oracle for cloud products — all I’ve heard about them suggests long-term pain.

this incident certainly doesn’t help inspire confidence in their offerings.

Multi cloud companies that want pricing leverage at the expense of simplicity (uber is a major customer of all 4 big clouds for example)

  • There are 4 big clouds? I had only ever heard of the big 3 mentioned until now (AWS, Azure, GCP). From a quick search, appears that the 4th is Alibaba Cloud.

    • In the non-Chinese market, the 4th cloud is Oracle Cloud (OCI).

      But yea, there is AWS, GCP, Azure, and OCI outside China and Alibaba, Huawei, and Tencent within China.
