AWS
Amazon
Web Services (AWS) is a cloud service provider offering Infrastructure as
Service (IaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS) solutions.
AWS
services broken down into four different categories: storage, computing,
databases, and tools:
1. Storage
o Amazon Glacier: This solution is used for
long-term archiving. It ensures that deep storage backup items are secure and
safe, even though they are rarely used.
o Amazon S3: Simple Storage Services
(S3) offers boundless storage space through the web service interface. It is
the most supported cloud storage available as other AWS services discussed here
are able to read and write from S3. Additionally it makes web-scale computing
uncomplicated for developers.
o Amazon EBS: : Amazon's Elastic Block
Store (EBS) provides block storage volumes for EC2 instances. It is preferred
for storing persistent data and can vary in storage volume from 1GB to 1TB.
2. Compute
o Amazon EC2: Amazon's Elastic Compute
Cloud (EC2) provides users with resizable compute capacity so that users can
launch as many virtual private servers as needed while maintaining security and
networking features.
3. Databases
o Amazon RedShift: This application acts as
an internet hosting service and data warehousing product that helps users store
and organize terabytes and petabytes of data.
o Amazon DynamoDB: This is a fully managed
NoSQL database service within AWS that allows for high scalability and
flexibility, perfect for mobile, gaming, and ad tech solutions.
o Amazon ElastiCache: This service is a fully
managed in-memory cache service and data store ideal for high performance cases
similar to those of DynamoDB.
o Amazon RDS: Amazon's Relational
Database Service (RDS) is a web service that is similar and applicable to MySQL
and Oracle Database. It helps users run and configure relational databases in
the cloud.
4. Tools
o Amazon CloudWatch: CloudWatch enables users
to monitor their cloud environment for visibility into CPU usage, network
traffic, and disk reads among other things.
o AWS IAM: AWS identity and Access Management (IAM) facilitates users
to enable identity management capabilities and IT administration control for
user access on various AWS resources.
o Amazon CloudFormation: This platform allows
users to set up several AWS services on the go with common language capability.
o Amazon Elastic Beanstalk: This orchestration tool
helps deploy and manage web applications, taking advantage of full capacity
provisioning, load-balancing, and more.
Key Differences: Oracle Cloud VS AWS
Ensuring that your database needs are satisfied with the right
cloud computing vendor is a crucial business decision. Considering that Oracle
Cloud and Amazon Web Services (AWS) are one of the two biggest players in the
market right now, we have narrowed down the key differences between each
platform and detail them below:
Cost and Payment Model
When it comes to cloud infrastructure as a service and renting
virtual spaces, pricing and payment models can be complex. But it should be
clear that price will vary based on different instances and needs such as
memory, CPU usage, and other specific configurations. In the case of Oracle,
its current offering is a price cut to long-time customers who already pay for
licenses to applications like Middleware and database a discount if they choose
to run their software in the cloud. AWS is more affordable than Oracle Cloud.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) offers a pay-as-you-go fee model giving
customers the control over how much services to add as they grow. For services
such as Amazon EC2 and RDS, users can save money when they reserve. Investing
in reserved capacity is equivalent to on-demand capacity, meaning the larger
the upfront payment, the greater the discount.
Oracle Cloud also offers a pay-as-you-go model where laaS and PaaS
services are metered hourly and charged only for the resource consumed,
according to their website. Additionally, services for Oracle Cloud are billed
at list price. Thankfully, both vendors offer an online calculator estimator where
you can estimate cost savings and modify assumptions.
Customer Support
Due to the large offerings both Oracle Cloud and AWS offer with
their cloud solutions, their support relies on a wide network and variety of
partners. Through their partner community, users can get customized solutions
and support services based on specific industry and organizational needs.
The AWS Partner Network (APN) provides AWS-based businesses with
technical, marketing, and go-to-market support. They give partners the
resources and support to advance specific business needs.
The Oracle Partner Network (OPN) is very similar whereas it
provides businesses with the actionable ability to make the move to cloud-based
services. This network allows business to focus specifically on driving
their Oracle Cloud solutions with implementation specialists and enablement
resources.
Hybrid and edge capabilities
In addition to public cloud services, AWS, Oracle and other major
vendors are creating products to enable edge computing and hybrid cloud
architectures.
Edge services
AWS builds most of its edge services to fit only its own
ecosystem, while Oracle prefers to acquire smaller services that users can
integrate into their development lifecycles.
Hybrid cloud
AWS has generally made it difficult for enterprises to create
truly hybrid infrastructure. This scenario has led to the growth of several
third-party hybrid cloud add-ons. Also, as noted above, Amazon S3 charges a
substantial egress tax to transfer data out of the cloud. AWS has made some
moves to simplify hybrid cloud provisioning, such as its partnership with
VMware and launch of AWS Outposts that extends AWS infrastructure on premises.
As most of Oracle's existing business is on premises, the company
pursues a strategy that enables users to migrate workloads into the cloud with
security and governance baked in. As such, it offers better pricing to move
data out of the cloud and has better integration options for enterprises'
existing portfolio of Oracle applications.
In contrast, to improve its core offerings, Oracle has been
acquiring various companies, such as Dyn, a managed DNS service, and Zenedge, a
hybrid security start-up now called Oracle Dyn Web Application Security.
Developers will have to evaluate how easy it is to work with these services.
Cloud Pricing Compare
OCI vs. AWS, Azure & GCP
When looking at standalone deployments, pricing for Oracle Cloud
Infrastructure is 48% cheaper than AWS, Azure or Google Cloud on average for
MySQL, PostgreSQL and Redis™ fully managed deployments at ScaleGrid. That is
nearly half the cost!
High availability replica set deployments also show significant
cost savings, where Oracle Cloud averages 32.4% lower pricing than AWS and
Azure, and 40.1% less than Google Cloud for MySQL, PostgreSQL and Redis™ at
ScaleGrid.
Oracle Cloud is a great alternative to AWS, Azure or Google Cloud
Platform as they offer the same level of infrastructure, services, and partners
to support any size business.

Drawing the Line in the Sand: The
Final Decision
The payment model for AWS allows for easy adaptability when business
needs change and fluctuate. Organizations can pay for services on an as needed
basis. When it comes to Oracle Cloud, users can also leverage flexibility
depending on how often they need to rely on services.
Among the two competitors, it is important to determine which
platform will best suit business needs. Whether its enterprise sized
organizations or small start-ups, data and cloud computing needs are rapidly
growing. Consider contacting us if you've made a decision.
