Oracle Cloud Announcement‏ (September 2017)

The bottom line: Oracle are inventing aggressively on PaaS and starting to neglect the IaaS. 

They are doing it by:
- Reducing price of the PaaS.
- More automation to reduce dramatically the TCO (migration to cloud, patches, upgrades, tuning) 
- Higher performance. 
- Simpler pricing and contract (a pool of cloud cedits you can use for anything) 











- New autonomous database will be commercial soon.
- You can bring your own license. 

And again Oracle claim that their cloud is  faster than Amazon for database with much lower price.
