“Eric Guyer, founding partner at Oracle and SAP advisory and consulting firm Remend, said: “A lot of people don’t fully understand that you still have to go to Oracle, negotiate a subscription, and an agreement. Once you’ve negotiated that with Oracle, then you effectively upload the contract into AWS, and then start applying those credits. You’re still negotiating with Oracle, and utilizing the same Exadata stack as in OCI, or on-prem. You’re just able to do it natively in AWS’s datacenters.””
