I mean, a company with as much data as Amazon leaving is a pretty big deal and obviously is in the news.

Are Oracle cloud offerings actually doing well? What evidence is there of this?

They’re a publicly traded company, this is readily available information. Sure the growth is not a hockey stick, but they’re not exactly dying either. The way people talk on here you’d think they’re filing for bankruptcy tomorrow.

Which is about what you expect - Oracle has a sizeable legacy business with which they can exploit. But are they really winning new business without subsidy?
