genuinely curious what kind of demographic is leveraging Oracle for cloud products — all I’ve heard about them suggests long-term pain.

this incident certainly doesn’t help inspire confidence in their offerings.

Multi cloud companies that want pricing leverage at the expense of simplicity (uber is a major customer of all 4 big clouds for example)

There are 4 big clouds? I had only ever heard of the big 3 mentioned until now (AWS, Azure, GCP). From a quick search, appears that the 4th is Alibaba Cloud.

In the non-Chinese market, the 4th cloud is Oracle Cloud (OCI).

But yea, there is AWS, GCP, Azure, and OCI outside China and Alibaba, Huawei, and Tencent within China.

They have free cloud and egress is cheaper.
