Unfortunately the current performances of OCI (new name of OPC) for IaaS/PaaS are substandard in several ways.... The worse is the time you need to start a new service, I've tried to help my cu starting first a demo and then the production for a DBaaS on OCI and it took 3 months just to start the basic services.... And the second worse is how you change an existing service, in some cases you will need to sign a new contract, really too complex and time consuming..... no good, and for sure not "cloud-like".
Hopefully with gen2.1 things will change, but OCI as it is now is basically unusable as a cloud, unless your cu want to use it in "on-prem-like" way, i.e. a pure hosting. And also in this case, you will have sometimes some problems due to unexpected downtime.
