The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) licensing framework is the broader Oracle public cloud commercial framework. The actual customer Oracle OCI framework anchors against the broader OCI compute framework, the broader OCI storage framework, the broader OCI networking framework, the broader OCI database framework, the broader OCI autonomous database framework, the broader OCI universal credits framework, and the broader Oracle BYOL framework. This article sets out the broader Oracle OCI licensing framework, the broader Oracle OCI commercial framework, and how to anchor against the broader AWS framework, the broader Microsoft Azure framework, and the broader Google Cloud framework.

The Oracle OCI framework
The broader Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) framework is the broader Oracle public cloud framework. It anchors the actual customer Oracle public cloud framework against the broader Oracle commercial framework, segmented across five load bearing service categories.
- OCI compute framework, the broader Oracle public cloud compute framework.
- OCI storage framework, the broader Oracle public cloud storage framework.
- OCI networking framework, the broader Oracle public cloud networking framework.
- OCI database framework, the broader Oracle public cloud database framework.
- OCI autonomous database framework, the broader Oracle public cloud autonomous database framework.
The buyer side move is to anchor the actual customer Oracle OCI framework against the actual customer Oracle workload framework, the actual customer Oracle utilization framework, and the broader actual customer Oracle commercial framework. Read the related Oracle Cloud at Customer.
The OCI compute framework
The broader OCI compute framework is the broader Oracle public cloud compute framework. It segments across five sub frameworks.
- OCI Bare Metal framework
- OCI Virtual Machine framework
- OCI Dedicated Virtual Machine Host framework
- OCI Compute Cloud at Customer framework
- OCI Container Engine framework
The OCI compute framework typically anchors against the OCI universal credits framework on a per OCPU per hour basis, with list pricing between $0.025 and $1.50 per OCPU per hour. The buyer side move is to anchor the actual customer OCI compute framework against the actual customer Oracle workload framework. Read the related Oracle database licensing calculator.
The OCI storage framework
The broader OCI storage framework is the broader Oracle public cloud storage framework. It segments across five sub frameworks.
- OCI Object Storage framework
- OCI Block Volume framework
- OCI File Storage framework
- OCI Archive Storage framework
- OCI Storage Gateway framework
OCI Object Storage Standard typically lists at $0.0255 per GB per month. OCI Block Volume Higher Performance typically lists at $0.0255 per GB per month. The buyer side move is to anchor the actual customer OCI storage framework against the actual customer Oracle storage utilization framework. Read the related Oracle services practice.
The OCI networking framework
The broader OCI networking framework is the broader Oracle public cloud networking framework. It segments across five sub frameworks.
- OCI Virtual Cloud Network (VCN) framework
- OCI Load Balancer framework
- OCI FastConnect framework
- OCI Transit Routing framework
- OCI Web Application Firewall framework
The OCI VCN framework typically anchors at zero cost. Outbound Data Transfer typically lists at $0.0085 per GB. FastConnect typically lists between $0.0095 and $0.0250 per GB. The buyer side move is to anchor the actual customer OCI networking framework against the actual customer Oracle network utilization framework. Read the related Oracle knowledge hub.
The OCI database framework
The broader OCI database framework is the broader Oracle public cloud database framework. It segments across five sub frameworks.
- OCI Base Database Service framework
- OCI Exadata Cloud Service framework
- OCI Database Cloud Service framework
- OCI MySQL HeatWave framework
- OCI NoSQL Database framework
The Database Cloud Service framework anchors against the OCI universal credits framework on a per OCPU per hour basis, typically listing between $0.5042 and $5.50 per OCPU per hour. The buyer side move is to anchor the actual customer OCI database framework against the actual customer Oracle database workload framework. Read the related Oracle Database 23ai licensing guide.
The OCI autonomous database framework
The broader OCI Autonomous Database framework is the broader Oracle public cloud autonomous database framework. It segments across four sub frameworks.
- Autonomous Transaction Processing framework
- Autonomous Data Warehouse framework
- Autonomous JSON Database framework
- APEX Application Development framework
The Autonomous Database framework anchors against the OCI universal credits framework on a per OCPU per hour basis, typically listing at $1.3441 per OCPU per hour. The buyer side move is to anchor the actual customer OCI Autonomous Database framework against the actual customer Oracle workload utilization framework. Read the related Oracle Cloud at Customer.
The Oracle OCI commercial framework
The broader Oracle OCI commercial framework anchors the actual customer Oracle OCI framework against the broader OCI universal credits framework. The broader OCI universal credits framework segments across the broader Pay As You Go framework, the broader Annual Universal Credit framework, and the broader Annual Universal Credit Flex framework. The broader Annual Universal Credit framework typically anchors against the broader Oracle contractual annual commitment framework, with the broader Annual Universal Credit framework typically delivering between fifteen and forty percent against the broader Pay As You Go framework. The broader Oracle BYOL framework typically delivers between forty and seventy five percent against the broader license included framework. The buyer side move is to anchor the actual customer Oracle OCI commercial framework against the actual customer Oracle workload framework. Read the related BYOL versus license included strategy.
