What is Google Cloud?

Google Cloud combines infrastructure services with managed application, data and AI products. Compute Engine, Google Kubernetes Engine, Cloud Run and BigQuery address different workload models within the wider platform. This profile covers Google Cloud as a buying portfolio; it does not mean every capability is included in one plan. Product location, permissions, consumption and operational ownership need to be defined for each proposed deployment.

Alternatives to Google Cloud

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is a portfolio of compute, storage, networking, database and application infrastructure services. It includes Oracle database services alongside general cloud resources. An evaluation should distinguish the infrastructure purchase from Oracle business application subscriptions and from any existing database licence. Region, database deployment type, capacity and support requirements shape the actual solution.
