Welcome to the Cloud Wars Minute — your daily news and commentary show, hosted by Cloud Wars Founder Bob Evans. Each episode provides insights and perspectives around the “reimagination machine” that is the Cloud.
In this episode, Bob reacts to Larry Ellison’s announcement that Oracle has become a paying customer of AWS as a strategy to navigate the “multi-cloud era.”
Highlights

01:48 — Customers using MySQL HeatWave pay a fee to Oracle for that usage, then Oracle pays AWS so the customer won’t have to pay for both.
02:35 — Ellison wants to make the Oracle database available in as many multi-cloud environments as possible. He made remarks regarding how MySQL HeatWave is in a position to be more interoperable than AWS databases and better in price performance than Snowflake.
