Road to Oracle: Oracle and Microsoft's Monumental Multi-Cloud Partnership with Karan Batta

Road to Oracle CloudWorld | Cloud Giants Unite


The Big Themes


Historic multi-cloud partnership: Oracle and Microsoft's
recent meeting marks a historic collaboration in the world of
cloud computing. Larry Ellison was on the Microsoft campus for
the first time, appearing with Satya Nadella. This partnership
signifies the culmination of years of effort in promoting
multi-cloud tools, making it easier for customers to utilize both
companies' services.

Interconnected clouds: The integration between Oracle Cloud
Infrastructure (OCI) and Azure allows for a more seamless
experience and eliminates the barriers customers face when
dealing with different vendors. Customers can now use Oracle
database services just like any other Azure service, simplifying
operations and preserving existing commitments.

Looking toward CloudWorld: The Oracle and Microsoft
partnership announcement couldn't have come at a better time,
setting the stage for significant discussions and presentations
during CloudWorld, with real-life demos and details about
different regions. Attendees can also expect a focus on
generative AI at the event.



The Big Quote: " . . . essentially, you're able to now use Oracle
database services, just like you would any other Azure service.
Whether it's a database service or a past service, the experience
is no different. The great news is that you can use your
Microsoft commitments, but you can also use all of your existing
Oracle programs, whether it's your ULA [unlimited license
agreement], your support rewards, [or] BYOL [bring your own
license]."
