Why Migrate to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

Oracle encourages you to migrate your existing cloud resources to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure regions. You can gain several advantages by doing so.

In Oracle Cloud, you provision resources in specific regions, which are localized to geographic locations. A region supports either the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Classic or Oracle Cloud Infrastructure platform.

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is Oracle's more modern infrastructure platform that's based on the latest cloud technologies and standards. It typically provides better performance than Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Classic. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure also has more predictable pricing and lower costs in terms of Oracle Compute Units (OCPUs) per hour. Most importantly, Oracle continues to invest in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, including the addition of new regions, services, and features. See Data Regions for Platform and Infrastructure Services.

You can benefit from these additional administrative features in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure when you migrate your cloud resources from Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Classic:

  • Organize cloud resources into a hierarchy of logical compartments.
  • Create fine-grained access policies for each compartment.
