Two Cloudy Observations from Oracle OpenWorld
- by Gene Eun
Now that the dust has settled from another amazing Oracle OpenWorld, I
wanted to reflect back on a couple of key observations I made during
the event.
First, it was pretty clear that Cloud was again a big deal at this
year's conference. It was hard to not notice that Oracle continues to be
"all-in" with respect to cloud computing. Just to give you an idea of
the emphasis on Cloud, there were over 300 Cloud-related sessions
at this year's OpenWorld. If you caught some of the demo booths in the
Oracle Red Lounge, then you saw some of the great platform, application,
and social services that are now part of Oracle Cloud, as well as
numerous demos of private cloud products that Oracle offers.
Second, during Thomas Kurian's keynote presentation on Oracle
Cloud, he announced the Preview Availability of a new service called Oracle Developer Cloud Service.
This new platform service will provide developers with instant access
to environments to better manage the application development lifecycle
in the cloud. It provides development project teams access to favorite
tools like Hudson, Git, Github, wikis, and tasks to help make innovation
faster, more collaborative, and more effective. There's also
integration with IDEs like Eclipse, NetBeans, and JDeveloper. If you're a developer, it's an awesome addition to Oracle Cloud's platform services!
