Here's the key difference between Oracle and AWS:
- Oracle will schedule periodic audits on their customers and legally threaten them for inadvertent licensing oversights
- AWS makes it a mandatory policy that all their sales folks periodically sit with their customers to help optimise and reduce their ongoing AWS Cloud costs
If you are making a case that Oracle == AWS, you don't know what you are talking about. Yes, I have dealt with both these companies up close.

The KPIs seem to contradict each other.
- jon-wood 7y agoI've been in some of these meetings, and strangely the KPIs don't actually contradict themselves. Most of the recommendations we were given were around switching workload from one way of running things to a service which would be a better fit, and because we'd be using it as intended ended up being cheaper than the original implementation.
- joncrane 7y agoThe goal is to grow with the customer. AWS doesn't mind having a smaller piece of the pie because the pie is growing.
