Disclaimer: I work at OCI — Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. > Within an hour of receiving the kit, SCI had OpenVMS V9.0 running in the Oracle High Performance Cloud inside an Oracle VM VirtualBox environment. This is confusing. OCI doesn’t have a “High Performance Cloud” product. We do have high performance compute, but that is simply latest and greatest hardware via bare metal instances. High performance compute is a standard and long-time part of our portfolio. Perhaps SCI is referencing one of the legacy Oracle cloud products? (I doubt it, Oracle is sun-setting the previous generation of IaaS and migrating all customers to OCI.) To GP, I don’t think choosing Oracle Cloud is a strange choice anymore. 5 years ago pre-OCI, certainly. Perhaps even two years ago when OCI was still new. But it has come a really long way. From feature, performance, and cost perspectives, it’s a compelling product. |

There’s a set of shell scripts linked in there to demo this all, but it uses some feature sets that I haven’t heard of at all.
Disclosure: I’m also an OCI employee, but this post is my own opinion.
