This article summarizes the overview, features, and key points of
Oracle Cloud (Information current as of October 2018)

Overview of " Oracle Cloud"

Summary of Oracle Cloud features

■Tokyo region scheduled to open in 2019 (Oracle Cloud's own region)


A cloud designed and developed with the assumption that it can handle large-scale, mission-critical workloads, such as those in the enterprise

■ Oracle Database Cloud Service (PaaS), the cloud version of Oracle DB,
guarantees the same performance as Oracle DB and has built-in automation and efficiency features unique to PaaS.
(A tuned Oracle DB can be prepared with just a few clicks.)

■ Oracle DB tablespace encryption, backup, and patch application functions are included as standard

■ Although it is a PaaS, OS management authority functions are available

■ Enterprise-level support is included in your cloud usage fees

■ Ability to collaborate and connect with existing on-premise data centres

■ In addition to virtual machines (VMs), dedicated bare metal servers are also provided on the cloud,
allowing for instant server deployment and scaling in and out.

■ Oracle's DWH, "Oracle Autonomous Database Cloud,"
is equipped with "Oracle Database 18c," the next-generation version of Oracle Database.

■As an "autonomous database," DB tuning, patch application, updates, and maintenance are not required.
It is equipped with an auto-repair function that automatically protects against downtime.

■ Data transfer (outbound) is free up to 10TB/month.
(Data transfer within an availability domain is free.)

■ Storage (Block Storage) Performance
IOPS: None
Performance: 60 IOPS/GB (standard)
Maximum IOPS/instance: Up to 400,000 IOPS

■ Since CPUs are physical,
when comparing and calculating the CPU (number of cores) of Oracle Cloud and other companies' clouds, use "approximately 1/2" as a guideline.

[Example]
Other company's cloud: 16vCPU
Oracle Cloud: 8core

■ Even in the cloud, calculations must be based on the number of cores per instance.
Also, if you use Windows Server as your OS, calculations must be based on the number of cores.
* This is the same concept as core licensing for the on-premise version.

summary

Oracle has announced that it will open its own data center (region) in Tokyo in 2019, and
that an Osaka region will also be opened in the same year, so
this may be good news for current Oracle users who want to migrate to Oracle Cloud.
