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

Overview of Oracle Cloud

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

■ A cloud service designed and developed with the premise of being able to handle large-scale, mission-critical workloads, such as those found in enterprise systems

■ Oracle Database Cloud Service (PaaS), the cloud version of Oracle DB,
guarantees the same performance as Oracle DB and includes built-in automation and efficiency features unique to PaaS.
(A tuned-up Oracle DB can be prepared in 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 via the cloud,
enabling instant server deployment and scaling in/out.

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

■ As an "autonomous database," it requires no DB tuning, patching, updates, or maintenance.
It also features an automatic repair function to automatically protect against downtime.

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

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

■ Since the CPU is a physical entity, when comparing and calculating the number of CPUs (cores) in Oracle Cloud and other cloud services, use "approximately 1/2" as a guideline

[Example]
Other cloud services: 16 vCPU
Oracle Cloud: 8 cores

■ Even in the cloud, the calculation must be based on the number of cores per instance.
Similarly, when using Windows Server as the OS, the calculation is also based on the number of cores.
*This is the same concept as the core licensing for the on-premises version.

summary

Oracle
announced that it would open its own data center (region) in Tokyo sometime in 2019, and that it would also open an Osaka region in the same year.
This may be good news for current Oracle users that want to migrate to Oracle Cloud.
