Who's actually using IBM Cloud?

Same as Oracle cloud, their users are organisations locked into long-term support contracts, who are offered sweeteners to use their clouds. Which of course only makes them more locked in.

We finalized the choice to use OCI for an upcoming project because they're the only major public cloud in the country we're deploying to.

That said, as a person who's coming from AWS, their demo and documentation have thoroughly piqued my interest. There's a decent amount stuff to like. It's got a slick UI, and the APIs appear to be comprehensive enough to cover our use case.
