Yeah... from an engineer’s POV or a publicly-visible commercial POV it makes no sense. Something fishy is going on for Oracle to even get a seat at this table with their sorry excuse for a cloud.

15 years ago I worked with Oracle and guys from Oracle on a marketing side (they contracted me to help out with their marketing side), I definitely got that vibe. Years later, there was this talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zRN7XLCRhc And it kind of all makes sense.
