Official Doc Reveals Oracle's Cloud Rules

Posted by timothy on from the don't-tell-everyone-at-once dept.

itwbennett writes "In an official document that is both 'confidential' and publicly available on Oracle's website, the company lays out its cloud policies. Most of the policies follow industry standards, but then there are a few that should give customers pause. Like the one that allows Oracle to turn off access to accounts in the event of a dispute or account violation."

    It's not your cloud. You inherently have to play by their rules.

    OMG you mean they can disable my service if I violate their usage terms or fail to pay them? What an outrageous policy!

    I'm an infrastructure architect. My rule is no oracle unless you can prove to me you really need it and there's no alternative. Oracle always tries to screw you over with their licensing and their pricing.
