If you are not riffed, and you are in OCI you should be getting the OCI Win Wire emails with instances of how OCI is bit by bit taking market and gathering users. Can you explain those in your next post? :-)

Still waiting .... makes me think there are no wins to brag about. What a shocker that is. LOL!
Ah, all these great wins in the Win reports - maybe you can share a few with us here along with the minuscule amounts of sales they brought in. We’ll take everything with revenues in excess of $5 per year, so give us at least 5 of those will you PLEASE!
OP: have you ever been in any of those "win wire" customers? I have, and can assure there is nothing like an happy cusotmer.
There should be a litigation wire so people are aware how many customers have left & sued, threatened to sue and are in active litigation over cloud (SLA's, price, egregious terms, lack of privacy and security controls..) It's lots of customers!!!!!
There are 199999999999 companies that are going to move to cloud. ORACLE will have its share. All the world is not just startups and new companies + netflix. There are enterprises that have been around for a long time and will need to move to cloud sooner or later, that is where oracle cloud shines.
is there a Loss Wire too that shows all the deals Oracle lost and more importantly all the deals it never got to compete for? Would be very enlightening but probably to good for the OCI management. LOL!
On one gloomy day, one customer tried to run heavy workloads and our entire service went down, not able to handle the workload. My team's management, blamed this unfortunate customer for running workloads on the cloud without notifying us. We fixed the service, brought our service back and instructed this poor customer to notify us in advance and get approval before running anything :D.
At the end of every quarter, there are always stories like these, it's all in the game.
Looks like we turned OP’s grin upside down.
When I was at Azure, I saw big customers coming to us and the impact we were having. You think OCI is getting customers like what AWS/Azure is attracting? b--s--t. What oci is getting are just peanuts. Someone puts an extra 1TB of data in our cloud and my over-reacting VP feels we are conquering the world. Sends out emails with screenshots of zoomed out graphs (of this growth, shows we are winning this cloud war and everyone who just s--- up the management, say 'Hey AWS/Azure, we are coming to conquer'. Lot of us like me, we offer nothing but put palms on our faces.
Because the wins are for peanuts
PR.. key is bit by bit... little wins sent out, just like the sounds of payouts from slot machines at Vegas. It gives the idea that people are winning, and gives you hope. Its a ruse... the key is little wins. The big losses that go to competitors are not announced
