Oracle Cloud Announcement (September 2017)

The bottom line: Oracle are inventing aggressively on PaaS and starting to neglect the IaaS.
They are doing it by: - Reducing price of the PaaS. - More automation to reduce dramatically the TCO (migration to cloud, patches, upgrades, tuning) - Higher performance. - Simpler pricing and contract (a pool of cloud cedits you can use for anything)
- New autonomous database will be commercial soon.
- You can bring your own license.
And again Oracle claim that their cloud is faster than Amazonfor databasewith much lower price.
