    Thanks Skant for update . I have one query i found as of now AWS is most dominating in cloud market . and even we can practise our self on AWS . So why Oracle Cloud not AWS ? Pls Suggest .

  2. Skant Gupta Article Author

    You are talking about present , but I am sure that Oracle Cloud will come in competition. I want say on your second comment that we can learn AWS as well as Oracle Cloud, because in Today’s world market, we can’t sustain with one technology.

  3. Naresh

    Thanks Skant for rply … But i am eager to know how can we practise our self on Oracle Cloud and Exadata becoz for both we have to pay some amount whereas AWS is free for practise .

  4. Skant Gupta Article Author

    But Some countries Oracle Cloud giving free access still. Moreover if AWS is free then learn it because as per knowledge they provide some limited access for practicing.
