The scale of oracle cloud is laughable compared to its competitors.

In terms of value to the taxpayer I think AWS's offering would be head and shoulders above anything else. There would be no quicker way to be fired at amazon than if evidence came out that you were rorting or delivering an inferior product to a customer, behavior thats almost assumed with other government contractors.

Interesting. So, if oracle wins, this will be the only customer they care about with its small cloud? Meaning à win on this bid, will likely make oracle cloud less attractive than before, to anyone on the outside?
