>>> I don't know how hard they negotiate (but it's Oracle so probably pretty hard). Can't be too hard. It's Oracle so they let you in nicely enough, then they screw you later when you're locked in, increasing cost substantially on every renewal, changing terms and billing arbitrary things. I think Zoom could get away with any terms really (AWS is not hard to beat on bandwidth to begin with). Oracle cloud is desperate for customers, even more than Azure and GCP, but Oracle has the willingness to increase costs tenfold and change terms arbitrarily later unlike competitors, so all things considered don't expect them to have too much regards for the (initial) terms. On the database they are notorious for trying to charge test databases (normally don't need a full license), any server they can find (up to you to evidence it's not running oracle) or even your entire virtualized datacenter because VMs can migrate so the entire datacenter should be the machine when it comes to billing and they bill by core.
