Let's not poo poo actual competition. If Oracle _wants_ to compete with AWS that's a pretty good thing for everyone.

Yet signing any contract with Oracle is risky, and i would rather pay more than risk dealing with Oracle itself.

but yeah, more competition is always good.

Yes, it's definitely good if it causes AWS, GCE, Azure, etc to increase allowances to compete, even if you (like me) plan to never touch that Oracle service with a ten foot pole attached to someone else's computer.

You're not the only one. Almost everyone that did significant deals with Oracle at some point has this opinion.

Plus they hired away a ton of AWS engineers to build their competitor right down the street from AWS headquarters. I wouldn't dismiss it out of hand.

People aren't dismissing the product, they're dismissing doing business with Oracle regardless of the product.

I want to compete in the Olympics, but whether that actually happens is a different question.
