|
|
compute:

|
|
oci_advantage:
|
|
- "Consistent pricing (no per-second billing complexity)"

|
|
- "Broader instance family selection"
|
|
- "Spot instances (wider availability than OCI Preemptible)"
|
|
- "Graviton ecosystem maturity vs Ampere"
|
|
notes: "OCI compute is generally 30-50% cheaper for equivalent configurations"

|
|
kubernetes:
|
|

|
|
- "More load balancer features (ALB path-based routing)"
|
|
- "Broader Direct Connect partner ecosystem"
|
|
notes: "Networking cost savings are a major OCI differentiator. Quantify them."
|
|
|
|
security:

|
aws: "IAM / GuardDuty / SecurityHub / KMS"
|
|
oci: "IAM / Cloud Guard / Security Zones / Vault"

- "More third-party observability integrations"
|
|
|
|
competitive_positioning:
|
|
lead_with:
|
|
- "Oracle Database cost savings (BYOL, Exadata, Autonomous)"
|
|
- "Network cost savings (free inter-AZ, cheap egress)"
|
|
- "Overall price/performance for equivalent configurations"
|
|
honest_gaps:
|
|
- "Smaller service catalog than AWS"
|
|
- "Fewer regions (though expanding rapidly)"
|
|
- "Smaller community and ecosystem"
|
|
- "Less mature serverless/event-driven offerings"
|
|
neutralize:
|
|
- "Enterprise support: Oracle Premier Support is equivalent to AWS Enterprise"

- "Terraform support: full parity via OCI Terraform provider"
|
|
- "Multi-cloud: OCI Multicloud with Azure (Oracle Database@Azure)"
|
|

|
|
- "Database@AWS limitation: ADB-D only, no ADB-S Serverless — requires Exadata dedicated infra"
