Oracle cloud is moving even more towards the generic cloud model that I described in 2011. What used to go with the name “Bare Metal” becomes the new norm now. This is good news: In addition to the regions and availability zones that you already know from AWS, the new stack will provide a flat, non-blocking network and NVMe storage.
The Bare Metal Cloud Services user interface was updated to reflect the new name, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. Also on September 26th, the Oracle Public Cloud user interface will be updated to reflect the new name, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Classic.
