Oracle plans to hire 2,000 people for its cloud platform, months after sacking hundreds of staff.
Don Johnson: “Cloud is still in its early days with less than 20 percent penetration today, and enterprises are just beginning to use cloud for mission-critical workloads."

OP is true. Out of 2000, 500 will be for OCI Santaclara. I’m close to upper management and this is confirmed news.
This is more funnier than main post.

The power center for OCI is in Seattle, they aren't going to suddenly hire 500 people somewhere else. If they hire them anywhere, they will be in Seattle. They aren't going to create a large group of people elsewhere that might take control from them.
It's all politics. Move to Seattle if you want to work in OCI.

Oh, the laughs.... I miss the laughs so much..... LOL.... not gonna happen.

OCI is screwed. Oracle should kickout all those guys and focus on database and applications.
Seems to be LE's thoughts exactly....
The elephant in the room is the huge operational costs that are being incurred every month with no revenue to offset. Yes, they built a ton of "OneAD" single domain regions around the world. That's exactly what customers want: a cloud in Brazil with c-appy infrastructure and no local redundancy.
So all these data centers have the core racks and nothing else in them, with ongoing huge colo costs that are contractually committed at usury rates for 7 years - since OCI apparently can't plan further than a quarter in advance - and using Sun hardware.
I'd estimate their monthly loss at around $375M; getting into cloud takes a huge investment, but this idea of hiring more people to build more data centers while the existing centers sit with little or no revenue is the height of stupidity. How long can OCI bleed cash without being k–led?
Hire 2000 and lay off 4000.

Sounds like DJ and LE need to talk to each other. Why am I not surprised about the communication issues.... same old, same old.
DJ says we're ramping up on cloud and LE says we're ramping down. More sh—show to come.
What a lame attempt of a post. Not even the HR b–tards are trying.
Bug logged. Target fix 20D.
Where are the reqs? I see no reqs
Lol. Seriously OP? Are there really people who believes this sh–
DOA
This hiring thing is total b—s—. Even the media knows it.

From the last quote of this article. "Oracle initially offered to provide comment on the hiring news to Channel Futures, then later declined."
2000 cheaper new work visas employees to replace Americans workers
This is just an id–tic thing that came out of DJ's a–hole. LE already knows the cloud battle is lost. Nobody, NOBODY, that already works for a successful cloud company like AWS is going to leave their job and join OCI to get fired in the months to come.
