"There is a philosophical thought experiment: "If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?" Something similar could apply to cloud vendors - if a cloud falls over, but few people use it, has it truly fallen over?"
"On Friday our Fusion Production system disappeared for just under 10 minutes, then came back, but was really slow. Totally different with our Test environments, they didn't disappear then, but at about 1345, froze and then any attempt at logging in produced a 502 Bad Gateway message."
"The public cloud is dominated in the UK by the "Big Three" tech giants: Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Oracle's cloud trails some way behind - with low single digit percentage market share - though several institutions spend millions on the platform ( such as the Bank of England)."
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure users reported an outage in the London region late last week. Oracle's status page indicated no issues and the company declined to comment. Reader reports placed initial disruption around 12:30 local time, with Fusion Production disappearing for under ten minutes and returning slowly, while Test environments later froze and returned 502 Bad Gateway errors. Oracle Fusion Applications provide ERP and SCM functions. Oracle's public cloud holds low single-digit market share in the UK, though large institutions such as the Bank of England use the platform. Prior claims asserted high reliability, and recent security-denial disputes preceded European outages.
