What is Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)?

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is Oracle's second-generation cloud platform offering compute, storage, networking, database, and AI services. OCI is known for its competitive pricing on compute and database workloads, particularly for Oracle Database migrations.

How does OCI compute pricing compare to AWS and Azure?

OCI generally offers lower on-demand compute prices than AWS and Azure for equivalent vCPU and memory configurations, often 30–50% cheaper. OCI also offers an Always Free tier with 2 AMD-based Compute VMs and up to 4 Arm-based Ampere A1 cores permanently free.

What compute instance types does OCI offer?

OCI offers Standard shapes (E4, E5 AMD EPYC), Flexible shapes (customisable vCPU/memory ratio), Ampere A1 Arm-based instances, and GPU shapes (A10, A100). Flexible shapes let you pick exact vCPU and memory within defined limits.

Which OCI regions are available?

OCI operates commercial regions across North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East, Asia Pacific, and Japan. It also offers Dedicated Regions and Government Cloud for compliance-sensitive workloads.
