Hybrid cloud has supported payment services and provides reliable networked virtual machines
There are no restrictions about usage of these virtual machines because Linux machines are used, and everything needed is installed on our own responsibility, as all applications are developed by vendors who produce them for us. This is why there are no restrictions felt in usage of cloud services. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) offers good services, though the price could be lower than it currently is. AI and machine learning features of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) have not been used in production, as research is being conducted in this area. Services provided to customers are very well tested, and untested services are not offered to customers. Currently, research is being conducted on the usage of AI offerings through Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) or other vendors of AI tools.

Handles security setups independently for a more secure environment
OpenShift does have more secure features. Azure also has equivalent services. For my client, it was good enough to switch to Azure. For development, there wasn't any significant change in effort, however, for the DevOps team, it was a relief since Azure has managed services. We used elasticity and scalability all over.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It is a strong tool that offers more dynamic reporting capabilities while being user-friendly at the same time, and it can also be made better."
"If you need an environment with scalability and trust for your services, OCI, you won't need to worry."
"The environment is super fast so you get all the underlying machines behind the data. It's a good processing machine, especially in the Generation Two Cloud."
"A good feature of the solution is the clear roadmap it provides specifically from Oracle to PC, there are good options to use OTP."
"The performance and processing capability are excellent."
"Our use case is for a variety of purposes; we use it for our billing system, our operations support system, our analytic data warehousing, digitalization, customer service, marketing, and sales, so it is integral to our operations."
"The object storage and managed backup solution are valuable."
"We have found the stability of this solution to be extremely good in terms of uptime, availability, performance, and consistency."
"Our pipeline integrates various monitoring tools like Fortify for security checks. Once the pipeline processes the code, the finished product is deployed on Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud. We ensure application setup and recovery by utilizing two separate clusters on OpenShift."
"The most valuable feature of Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud is the UI console. We are able to receive the resources from the console directly."
"The deployment mechanism has become more dynamic with the use of the product."
"In general, customers appreciate its ability to run different workloads, manage applications through CI/CD pipelines like Jenkins, and leverage tools like Helm charts and Kako."
"The initial setup is easy."
"For the DevOps team, it was a relief since Azure has managed services."
"The solution offers the most robust Kubernetes orchestration available."
"The portability, moving from one platform to another, is easy."
 

Cons

"Portability of the VMware environment into the Oracle Cloud should be made more simple."
"I would like more technical expertise."
"The setup was not very simple but not complex either."
"Oracle Cloud could improve AI. The design elements could be done better."
"Oracle Cloud's support could be improved because its second-line support has weak engineers who handle stuff a little bit slowly."
"In the market, they are still not the best, however, they are working on it."
"The billing and right sizing for optimization of your cost in the cloud, a well architected frame, should be improved as soon as possible; the framework from AWS is so good, I would like to see this feature in OCI."
"In a future release, they could improve by adding some form of machine learning and artificial intelligence."
"The general purpose solution tries to cater to too many customers so it is heavy."
"The service mesh integrations could improve the solution."
"Technical support could be a bit better."
"There is more work and effort needed for when many of the managed services are not accessible, especially in the security area. You have to do your own security setups as opposed to using a managed firewall."
"The performance could be better; it's a bit slow right now."
"Many of the managed services are not accessible."
"Making it even more cost-effective could be explored."
"There is room for improvement in cluster-based queue monitoring and autoscaling."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive according to services and competition. Also, it is not prevalent in the market. I rate the solution’s pricing a seven on a scale of ten, where ten is expensive, and one is cheap."
"There is an annual and a subscription option."
"My ROI has increased."
"The price is middling; it's not the most expensive product, but there is still some room for it to be more flexible."
"The solution is cheaper compared to Oracle E-Business Suite."
"Oracle Cloud is cheaper than other products."
"Make sure you read the fine print."
"The solution is free to use."
"This product is not costly when compared to other vendors."
"The pricing is a little high in China."
