On a side note, I'm a CTO and I'm being seduced by Oracle's sales people due to their extremely low prices in my region. I'm on Azure and it's getting expensive. Can someone with actual experience using Oracle as a cloud provider chime in?
-their cloud console interface in general was bad
- the technology is pretty rudimentary: after spinning up some ec2 instances and attaching some volumes, I needed to enter some strange custom commands in the terminal to make them useful (aside of the standard partitioning and mounting)
- their cost explaining docs were worse than Amazon IMO.
- for some reason they started spamming me with Portuguese mail (maybe because my last name looks like Portuguese?)
- Somehow I cancelled my admin account but not some inner account so for some time i couldn't login but still had some volumes that were being charged... I couldn't delete them.
- I tried to spin up one of their ready made wordpress instances but it wasn't working. I've since forgotten what was the issue but at the time I found it hilarious.
Overall I wouldn't touch it for stuff related to work. Had very bad experience with them .
Bandwidth is under a pretty generous "fair use policy" and if they decide you are not using fairly, overage is only $1/TB. On AWS, $90/TB and the free bandwidth is not very much.
Are you worried that you'll hit a huge traffic spike and need to upload 20TB faster than you can provision a new server?
If you really are set on cloud storage, B2 is cheaper than S3.
