Cloud platform has supported cost control and database integration but still needs better metrics and storage
I have not used Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)'s networking solutions today. I studied it somewhat, but it is not my main area currently. We had some problems sometimes with Autonomous Database in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), for example, in the past months related to the asset of the metrics. We found problems related to what we wanted to show to the customer about the database because many metrics were missing. We usually worked together with members of Oracle Italia to ask them to introduce some metrics, for example, those that do not work correctly about CPU usage, memory usage, or network usage. There were some metrics in Oracle Autonomous Database in dedicated infrastructure that did not allow us to show correct information to the customer. We usually needed to ask Oracle Italia to introduce some metrics or clarify metric usage. In some cases, they showed incorrect data in the output, so we had to work with them to solve this problem. I am speaking about problems from approximately one year ago, so I do not know if they have fixed all of it now. One problem I faced in the past with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) was also related to documentation. Sometimes there are differences between Oracle Autonomous Database usage on shared infrastructures compared to dedicated infrastructures. When searching for documentation, it is not clear if one aspect or solution is usable in both technologies or on both shared and dedicated infrastructures. I found some documents proposed for Autonomous Database and then discovered that the case was applicable only for shared infrastructure, not dedicated. Oracle Italia explained to me that Oracle Autonomous Database on shared and dedicated are different products. However, I do not understand why if I have the same version of Oracle in both architectures, I cannot have access to some tools or internal packages in both technologies. We usually had to ask them to introduce also in dedicated infrastructures the use of some Oracle PL/SQL packages, some internal packages, for example, for the management of queues. Another aspect is that the storage of Oracle is not very user-friendly. In Autonomous, for example, where I think an autonomous database should manage storage correctly on its own, my experience is that often we have many allocated storage spaces that are free, but it is impossible to reclaim. We need to expand storage and pay for it, even though it is free. I think that regarding the internal management of storage, Oracle can improve.

Has allowed me to build and deploy containerized applications consistently by integrating automated image updates and CI/CD workflows
The features of Red Hat Quay that I have found most valuable include the ability to switch between the previous version and the newer version; this is an extra feature currently added, and I appreciate this feature. Red Hat Quay's automated image building has helped my CI/CD pipeline efficiency by allowing me to store my source code from GitHub and GitLab to my images. It's very convenient, and it automatically stores my images to deploy in the OpenShift application, making it easier to deploy and run the application without any troubleshooting. The positive impacts I have seen from using Red Hat Quay include the ability to change to a newer version and roll back to the older version. This is the only feature I find beneficial, and I can monitor how many people download my images, which I can verify with the analytics provided. The value of geo-replication in maintaining consistent access to container images is significant since I store data in MongoDB and use the Apache Web Server application running in Quay.io, where I store my images.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's a cloud, so it is easy to access anywhere."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The solution offers many features and it is a complete replica of our data center."
"Oracle Cloud has wonderful features and offerings as a service; it has a complete suite from infrastructure to platform as a service to software as a service, and this is what I find most valuable in Oracle Cloud."
"It is more secure and more controlled than an on-premises deployment."
"I think Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is a very good choice today to use and to recommend to other customers."
"The main benefit is that you're getting all of the resources you require on a subscription basis, so you get to pay as you go instead of having to have a CAPEX, and you convert your CAPEX to OPEX to cover the data center cost."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"Red Hat Quay's automated image building has helped my CI/CD pipeline efficiency by allowing me to store my source code from GitHub and GitLab to my images, making it easier to deploy and run the application without any troubleshooting."
"Red Hat Quay's automated image building enhances CI/CD pipeline efficiency because all our applications are deployed through CI/CD pipeline, whether Jenkins or Octopus, and can pull images directly through Red Hat Quay using robot accounts and service accounts."
"The best features Red Hat Quay offers for my work are that it is easily integrated with RHEL, so if our environment is RHEL-based and we have already purchased the subscription for RHEL, it is better to use Red Hat Quay because it also improves reliability and integrates easily with all the RHEL-related tools like OpenShift."
"It's easy to use, and it does what it is meant for."
"Red Hat Quay has positively impacted my organization by improving reliability because it comes with the RHEL subscription, so we do not require anything else, and it is easily integrated with all the RHEL-related tools like OpenShift."
"It's easy to use, and it does what it is meant for."
"Things like downloading an image, pulling an image, tagging, and pushing it back to the needed organization are fairly easy compared to doing things through the command-line interface."
 

Cons

"The monitoring tool and the migration from on-premise to the cloud should be much easier."
"Technical support for this solution is average. I contacted them last week and just received a message from them today."
"There's a need for further customization to unlock the platform's full potential."
"Technical support does not offer the best service and should be improved."
"Nowadays, every SR is referred to Oracle Cloud Connect without a person actually handling the customer."
"The marketplace could be improved very much."
"With the Oracle Cloud Platform, they have to give first some proper documentation with a step-by-step process. Then the customer is able to use it properly. Nowadays, the Oracle Cloud Platform requires lots of floor work."
"The price of the subscription is too high and excludes some potential customers."
"I think Red Hat Quay could improve the security, as users can download the images without a login."
"It could be more integrated with other platforms."
"Nothing is happening regarding AI. I don’t see the role of AI currently."
"It could be more integrated with other platforms."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"OCI's pricing is one of its best features."
"The costs involved are low when it comes to Oracle Cloud, especially when compared to AWS."
"It is cheaper as a solution model. It isn’t cheaper than SAP but offers more features and competition."
"The best aspect of the Oracle Cloud Platform is the relation between the performance and the price. When you compare the price with Amazon AWS, Microsft Azure, or any other, the price for performance is the best."
"The solution's cost could be better."
"The price of the solution should be reduced to a price that people can afford."
"The solution is free to use."
"The subscription is a pay-as-you-go model, with fees that are dependent on usage."
