Cost and Competence goes hand in hand, with multiverse system out there and the technology to support it, finding the best which fits the purpose and fits the future is the key.
All the Software and Services built in house, Offered by COTS, SaaS or PaaS provides a business value in the value chain.
All these Software and Services run on Infrastructure either on prem, Cloud or SaaS.
With the advancement of Technology, consumers have the privilege to choose the best from, though caution with many options, that drives to Analysis Paralysis
Below is the Comparision of Single Units of Core Infrastructure
Single Unit, gives a direction but not the intensity.
Lets imagine, A typical department/Cost Center catering to business.
The Cost per month to host this light weight infrastructure
IaaS space
- Compute: 30% cheaper
- Containers: 25% cheaper
- Block Storage: 65% cheaper
- Egress data(50TB): 91% cheaper
To be ready for the AI/ML/3D modelling surge and migration of Huge System of Records to Cloud,
Oracle is ready with 1.3 million I/O operations per second (IOPS) and up to 12 GB per second throughput per OCI Compute instance with the OCI Block Volume Service. while the immdiate next Compute instances from other providers are providing 800,000 IOPS
Network space
Network is a large space to cover, for the next generation of workload that wants to move to Cloud, mainly the System of Records, an dedicated connectivity service that provides a private, secure, and reliable connection between on-premises network and Cloud Providers on a one time basis if it is a complete lift and shift or eco system where the on prem and different cloud providers work in tandem.
Competence:
Azure ExpressRoute Bandwidth: 100 GB PS
OCI FastConnect: 400 GB PS
Google Cloud Interconnect: 200 GB PS
AWS Direct Connect: 100 GBPS
Cost:
Bandwidth: 10 GBPS
Outbound Data: 50TB
Port Hours: 730
Azure Express Route: USD 4700
OCI Fast Connect: USD 1300
Google Cloud Interconnect: USD 5800

Database Space:
There is a huge farm of Database that are offered by the Cloud Providers. Comparision is not the sole scope of this Post.
But in general, As of June 2024, the most popular relational database management system (RDBMS) worldwide was Oracle, with a ranking score of 1244.08. Oracle was also the most popular DBMS overall. MySQL and Microsoft SQL server rounded out the top three.
While both, Oracle database and MySQL are covers more than half of the DB ecosystem, Oracle Database the proprietory and flagship product of Oracle.
MySQL which is open source under GNU Public licence was bought by Oracle Corporation during the acquisition of Sun Microsystem.
While the debate is not about, how much Oracle directly influences MySQL outcomes, but thier influence in the Database space cannot be denied.
Competiors turning to Partner:
For organizations seeking to optimize cloud infrastructure capabilities and spending, a multicloud solution might be the best approach. It gives organizations access across cloud providers, so workloads and data can be in an environment best suited to their capabilities. To create an integrated multicloud experience, Oracle and Microsoft offer direct interconnection between Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) and Azure through FastConnect and ExpressRoute.
