    Chose Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)
    EC2 is easier and more intuitive to use than the same product from other Cloud providers, AWS has been improving on EC2 since its conception in 2006 while the other cloud providers are only following the steps of AWS without much innovation.

    AWS has been the leader on Cloud …

    Chose OCI
    Oracle Cloud Infrastructure typically offers lower pricing for compute and storage than AWS. There are no hidden charges, it is more transparent. It is built for running oracle databases which the application was using, and licensing is more cost effective as compared to AWS.

    Chose OCI
    Performance and latency are excellent in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. Except for AWS baremetal, I don't find anything like that. I found that, aside from conventional compute that works really good, they also offer HPC VDI. That's one of the strengths that should have more hype …

    Services are almost the same, but OCI can provide more resources at the same price, our application can easily do the migration, and also, OCI also provides free VPC Site to Site VPN, which helps us create a security path from local to remote.

    Both of these other products are much more robust and better suited for smaller businesses. Oracle does a good job if you’re already entrenched in their ecosystem, but AWS and Azure do a good job for general-purpose computing.

    Chose OCI
    Using OCI was actually a legacy decision, and we were supporting legacy services/software on it. We only deployed 'new' servers/services/resources in a small capacity, and the 'long-term' plan was to move off OCI so that we could move to Azure or AWS. This wasn't due to …

    Both EC2 and [Oracle Cloud Infrastructure] compute instances are great. But if I have to choose one of them I will go for [Oracle Cloud Infrastructure] because of its user-friendliness. I prefer [Oracle Cloud Infrastructure] object storage over Amazon S3 because of oracle's …

    I have used and tried most of the cloud platforms. What makes Oracle different is Autonomous Oracle database support. All the features are the same just different platforms. The important part is to find the cheapest cloud for your region.
