- josephcsible 6y agoFor anyone unaware of the details of this, here's the gist of it: if you run Oracle in a VM, you need to pay for Oracle licenses for every CPU of every host in the entire VM cluster, even if you know for sure it will never run on most of them.
- marcosdumay 6y agoOracle has an entire VM suite, mostly incompatible with anything else and full of bugs, made with the only purpose of enforcing a core restriction so they won't bill you for the all cores on the real machines.
