- This chart lets you compare Oracle Cloud Services with other Cloud Platform companies as well as niche players and open source solutions.
- Special thanks to Joshua Levy, the original creator of the AWS Open Guide, on which this table is based (disclosure - I am also a contributor to that repo).
- I am an employee of Oracle Corporation, but nonetheless, views below are my own and based on personal and professional experience.
##Editing
- Feel free to send in a pull request.
- Note: the easiest way to edit this document is to use Sublime Text. Open the file , and then go to
View>>>Word Wrap. If "Word Wrap" is turned off, you'll see the table appear clearly and it will be easy to edit. Otherwise, it will be a jumble of pipes and dashes and words.
##Contact
- If you're an Oracle employee, feel free to reach out to me internally
