Chapter 1. Oracle Cloud
Abstract
Cloud is a technology solution that is growing and expanding with every passing day. Today, you can keep your social media data, such as Instagram and Flickr, in addition to all your enterprise data in the cloud. Thus, everybody is looking for ways to store data for less money and greater facility. Under the impact of current changes, the IT industry seeks to move on-premise solutions to the cloud. The biggest advantage of cloud is the cost savings realized from its use on a “pay as you go” basis. Thereby, projects can be initiated at low cost. On the other hand, on-premise solutions must be purchased. However, much of the time, these solutions aren’t estimated correctly or used completely. A project may be started without expensive hardware and software and then change to meet new requirements. The result of such unpredictability is that money may have been wasted.

Chapter 2. Compute Cloud
Abstract
At this point, Oracle is bringing its own experience for building new-generation compute services. Many advantages are accruing with new-generation cloud services, which are easily provisioned to migrate applications and to work virtual machines with scalable performance, securely and with scalability. Oracle services are able to work on many platforms: Linux distributions (Oracle Enterprise Linux, Debian), Solaris, and Microsoft Windows.

Chapter 3. Storage Cloud
Abstract
Today, an inevitable fact is that the IT market is moving from on-premise to cloud systems. In addition, the leading product related to this development is storage in the cloud, owing to the fact that disk usage and types are increasing rapidly in the current market. Within ten years, tapes will have to be changed and maintained periodically, and this could greatly increase the workload of IT professionals. Therefore, cloud storage has been developed to resolve many issues, such as disk replacement, network and CPU usage, and other maintenance concerns. Cloud solutions aim to reduce costs, so cloud storage is offered at an affordable price. In my opinion, cloud storage usage represents approximately 10%–20% of enterprise platforms, but in a few years, it will be roughly 30%–40% of the IT market. If this occurs, the effectiveness of on-premise solutions will diminish day by day. Fortunately, cloud storage solutions are offered by several vendors, such as Oracle, Microsoft, and Amazon.

Chapter 4. Ravello
Abstract
Today’s IT market is growing with the development of new products, and purchases are increasing proportionally. The size of the market exceeds 1 billion dollars for IT vendors of on-premise solutions, excepting cloud solutions. Of course, these purchases will not always be beneficial, as many products can be selected that are not suited to certain IT sectors. A lot of money is wasted as a result of these bad choices, and the main reason for this is incorrectly tested products. Therefore, many projects fail, owing to this reason and also because if very expensive purchases lead to bad results, buyers can be removed from their jobs. Oracle’s Ravello service is trying mitigate these problems, putting IT professionals on the right path to purchasing products that yield positive results.

Chapter 5. Container Cloud
Abstract
Today, many web applications are released in the cloud, to provide service through the public Internet. Ten years ago, all of these applications were hosted on a hosting service on a virtualized machine. Whenever a new machine was needed in the cloud, this new machine was only generated by a service provider. However, some customers didn’t want to give this permission. Therefore, Docker changed this with a new-generation virtualization solution that was particularly useful to startup companies.
