One of the use cases of Oracle Cloud is that it helps use Oracle Database as a Service. In my company, the one database that we have on the cloud is supported, operated, and maintained by Oracle.

We use the solution for EC2. It helps me to create around six servers for free to test out things. It also provides me with an authenticated cloud nameserver. We also use it as a wireguard endpoint.

We are hosting and migrating customers to the Oracle cloud, this is the service that we provide. We don't have our own cloud, we use Oracle in the backend. Many individuals are shifting towards interconnected digital systems, and one significant advantage is Oracle's comprehensive cloud-integrated solution. A large number of people currently utilize Oracle's database, which allows for smoother integration into the cloud platform when migrating from an on-premise solution. Having certified resources is crucial since even if you have an excellent solution, it can be challenging to operate and maintain without qualified individuals. Unfortunately, there is a scarcity of certified resources for solutions, such as SAP, and Dynamics does not yet offer this feature, Oracle Cloud is ahead of the game in this regard.

There are certain applications that are constantly running on Oracle Cloud which we use. There are certain sets of applications that run only during the last, and first week of the month.
Oracle Cloud has many use cases, and even open-source or non-Oracle products can be hosted on it. Some customers of my company even host SAP applications on Oracle Cloud. People use it for healthcare applications and other third-party applications. People also use it for development purposes. Oracle has Development Cloud Services bundled with Java, so people use it for application development. Oracle Cloud is also being used for high-performance computing, for example, in wireless industries with crash tests or speed tests that create a huge amount of data in a short period. Other use cases for Oracle Cloud include large-scale migrating and hosting of databases, for example, enterprise-class databases and open-source databases, which is something that my company does. Oracle Cloud is also used for hosting ERP products such as SAP Oracle, Oracle ERP, EQL, JD Edwards, etc. It's also used for engineering, for example, GIS applications. Currently, my company has one customer doing a POC and plans to go live in early 2023, once the POC is approved. For this customer, Oracle Cloud will be utilized for multiple GIS applications, collecting location data through IoT, etc. Oracle Cloud has multiple use cases. In the area of data management, there's the Oracle Data Lakehouse which is a complete suite of services for managing both structured and unstructured data from different sources. My company works with various customers on multiple use cases. These are customers from different industries involved in different scenarios. One healthcare customer is analyzing the high volume of data multidimensionally with patients, particularly through predictive analysis of certain treatments. Because of in-built products on Oracle Cloud, my team can do some of the concepts based on what industry leaders have in mind. My team can translate that into action points very quickly. Other use cases of Oracle Cloud include tech management, ERP, and geological information systems. You can also use it for asset reports, maintenance reports, and utility management such as electricity, water, telephone, etc. It can also be utilized for transportation, traffic management, management of parking spaces for large cities or large building complexes, etc. Oracle Cloud can help in building applications for a smart city. It's suitable for a lot of use cases. You just need to utilize, model, configure, and implement Oracle Cloud.

I'm primarily using it for approving purchases and dealing with purchase invoices and Oracle HCM, an HR-related product for evaluations of myself and my employees.
We have customers working with these services and we work with those clients. Specifically, cloud services are made up of autonomous databases. There is an OCI (Oracle Call Interface) and this is configured depending exactly on the service that you want to use. When you talk about an autonomous database it makes it is easy to automate your services. You do not have to worry about the purchase and the upgrading of databases because Oracle will be taking care of those things. Right now, here in our country, we are experiencing a problem where people are not able to understand the importance of this autonomous database architecture. My take is that it is the type of service that can elevate a certain type of company. Most people are worried about putting their databases on the cloud because they worry about security issues. But with cloud end-customers, most of the people respond in a promising way now.

Oracle Cloud is a very broad portfolio. They have a very good infrastructure as a service, IaaS portfolio, which has a core function of compute, storage, and networking. I have been using Oracle Cloud for learning and certification. I have not yet used it in a project for one of our customers, but I definitely plan to increase my usage in the future.
