They still only have a couple of data centers.

"Oracle Cloud" is vaporware.

More than a couple. Not as many as amazon.

You're absolutely right. The last time I checked it was Phoenix and Ashburn. Quite a few more, now:

I'm sorry that you work for Oracle.

Oracle actually has dozens of data centers all over the world. How many "public" cloud users they have is totally obfuscated and in my opinion is probably an outright fraud. Oracle, please don't sue me for slander. I said probably, not definitely.

In reality, I suspect most of these data centers are just private co-locations.

I haven't read the RFP but I doubt the number of data centers will matter. Odds are that these would be placed on federal property, such as certain military bases, and not be a part of any preexisting commercial infrastructure.
