Looks like Oracle cloud business is struggling. They're using fake limited time offers to trap customers into using OCI.

I particularly liked this comment froma an Oracle-SAP analyst
"Shaun Snapp - SAP & Oracle Researcher at Brightwork Research & Analysis
There is a fundamental reason why costs can't go down with Oracle....aside from Oracle always being the most expensive option in everything unless the other option is SAP -- and this is because Oracle has no real cloud. Everything must be set up manually by Oracle resources. There is no intelligence built into the Oracle Cloud. Therefore, Oracle lacks scale economies. Oracle is a company whose strategy is controlled by salespeople, which have a short term mindset. The idea in Oracle is you lie rather than investing. You look for opportunities to exploit labor. You have 25,000 sales cheezeballs running around babbling about things like the "automated database" without an understanding of what they are saying. If a company has not set up its cloud offering with any intelligence, as Oracle has not, they can never be a low-cost option. That is unless they subsidize this business from another area. This is what Microsoft is doing with Azure. Oracle could do this. They have 90%+ margins in their support, http://example.com/2MEPwaC, but Oracle is not doing this. "
shocking!!!!! so someone outside Oracle knows the truth!!!! Shaun, you know that you will be killed by our cheezeballs lawyers after having said the above right? :)
Devastating analysis. O costs more once mandatory features added in. No O supporter comments to be seen.
Forget that sh--. StinkedIn is a Microsoft virus that “integrates” with outlook, and reports back to gawd knows who and where.

You probably have to be logged into your linkedin account? There's a lot of formatting in the article and a table that is important. Hard to copy in.

Oracle is trapping customers. There are no price reductions and no savings. With Oracle, you get shafted, guaranteed.
Wow, Oracle is definitely in desperation mode. Last gasps of a dying beached whale.
Looks like Oracle doubles the price rather than cuts it in half.
Fake offerings? but that's orcl's best offerings
All of them are fake, half baked or just plain lies
What's real is the enormous money you pay for worthless support
omg - fake time? how is that possible
It's yet another spin on pushing the c%^p uphill that is done every Q4 to get revenue in
Sales always offers whatever they think will float to lock customers into a deal.
wow, I've never seen anyone say anything negative like that on linked in. can't wait to see the oracle fans respond to that.
