On 27 May Oracle began selling Cloudflare's edge security and delivery services through the OCI console, paid for with Oracle cloud credits. Two days later AWS said Oracle's database service inside AWS data centres was generally available in eight more AWS regions, bringing the total to twenty. The fortnight also brought a preview of Kubernetes 1.36 on OCI, a guide on Oracle's AI blog to running OCI operations through an MCP server, and three customer stories for Fusion Data Intelligence.

What Cloudflare@OCI is

Oracle announced Cloudflare@OCI on its infrastructure blog on 27 May. It puts Cloudflare's content delivery network, web application firewall, DDoS protection and API security in front of OCI workloads, sold as four bundles: Business Services, Enterprise Entry, Enterprise Essential and Enterprise Advanced. The top bundle adds bot management, advanced rate limiting and client-side security.

A customer picks a bundle in the OCI console, under Identity & Security, and pays from its Universal Credits. Once provisioned, the services are configured in Cloudflare's own platform, with support from Cloudflare and the bill from Oracle. Oracle's documentation for the offering sets a minimum term of one year, allows upgrades to a larger bundle during the term but not downgrades, and allows cancellation only if Cloudflare breaches its service level agreement, with written notice within five business days of the breach.

For a customer that already holds an Oracle credit commitment, that means edge security can be bought from money already committed, without a separate procurement. The two companies first said in October 2025 that Cloudflare's platform would be available natively on OCI. Oracle is also a member of Cloudflare's Bandwidth Alliance, and the 27 May post says that brings zero egress charges for data sent from OCI Object Storage to Cloudflare, starting in North America. Cloudflare's network covers more than 330 cities.

Oracle's database inside AWS

AWS said on 29 May that Oracle Database@AWS was generally available in Zurich, Milan, Spain, Paris, Osaka, Singapore, Melbourne and São Paulo, making twenty AWS regions in all. The service runs Exadata systems managed by OCI inside AWS data centres, and customers buy it through a private offer from Oracle on AWS Marketplace and set up databases in the AWS console. Oracle renamed it Oracle AI Database@AWS in March, along with its Azure and Google Cloud equivalents, although AWS's announcement still uses the old name.

AWS announced high performance networking for the service on 1 April. It places EC2 instances so that the round trip from application to database is consistently under a millisecond. AWS aimed it at payment processing, securities trading and other high-volume transaction systems that customers run on Exadata on-premises today. There is no extra charge for the optimised placement, and it launched in six regions: Ohio, Canada Central, Frankfurt, Dublin, Tokyo and Sydney.

Oracle's own announcement for Zurich on 12 May named Giesecke+Devrient, the German security technology company, as a customer, and said the service can now also be bought through qualified Oracle and AWS channel partners.

Private links between OCI and AWS

On 16 April Oracle said it would connect Oracle Interconnect to AWS Interconnect-multicloud, giving customers a private, managed link between OCI and AWS. Oracle said OCI already interconnects with 26 partner cloud regions, through its existing interconnects for Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud.

On 15 May Nathan Thomas, Oracle's senior vice president of product management for OCI, announced limited availability of Oracle Interconnect for AWS in the OCI Ashburn region. He said there are no data transfer charges, traffic is private and encrypted, and Oracle and AWS support teams handle problems jointly. General availability in more regions is still to come.

Oracle AI Database@Google Cloud reached 15 regions (20 sites) in April, and on 20 May OCI GoldenGate became generally available there, provisioned from the Google Cloud console and payable from a customer's Google Cloud commitment.

What the multicloud business earns

Oracle's third-quarter results on 10 March put multicloud database revenue growth at 531 per cent year on year, without a dollar figure. Cloud infrastructure revenue for the quarter was $4.9 billion, up 84 per cent. Remaining performance obligations stood at $553 billion, and Oracle said most of the quarter's increase came from large AI contracts where the customer either prepays for the GPUs or supplies them.

Oracle guided to capital spending of $50 billion for fiscal 2026 and raised its fiscal 2027 revenue guidance to $90 billion. Separately from the multicloud services, it operates US, UK and Australian Government Clouds and Isolated Cloud Regions for national security work.

An MCP server for cloud operations

On 29 May Oracle's AI and data science blog published a guide to an OCI CloudOps MCP server. It is a custom server the author built, rather than an Oracle product, and it exposes more than 35 tools (the post's summary says 40-plus) through the Model Context Protocol, grouped in eight categories covering instances, resource listing, networking, storage, tags, security and monitoring, knowledge retrieval and lookups. Paired with OCI Enterprise AI, Oracle's service for building and hosting agents, it lets someone ask for an instance with 8 OCPUs and a 200GB block volume in plain English and have the agent make the API calls.

The post says the server inherits OCI IAM policies, so the agent can do only what the signed-in user is authorised to do. The tool list includes terminate_instance and remediate_vulnerabilities, and the post says the agent can apply vulnerability fixes on its own. SAASiQ's view is that anyone trying this should run it under a narrowly scoped IAM group, because the agent can do anything that user can, including terminating instances.

Oracle's own MCP products are separate. The Autonomous AI Database MCP Server, announced on 24 March, lets outside agents and MCP clients query the database without custom integration code.

Project Jupiter's power plan

Project Jupiter is the AI data centre campus in Doña Ana County, New Mexico, where Oracle is the tenant and will deploy infrastructure for OpenAI. On 27 April Oracle, BorderPlex Digital Assets and Bloom Energy said the campus would be powered entirely by up to 2.45 GW of Bloom fuel cells, replacing the gas turbines and diesel generators in the earlier plan. They said the change cuts nitrogen oxide emissions by about 92 per cent against the turbines and that the fuel cells use a negligible amount of water.

Oracle says it will pay all the campus's energy costs so that residents' electricity rates are unaffected, and the data centre buildings use closed-loop, non-evaporative cooling. The commitments include $50 million for local water systems, $360 million for schools, infrastructure and local services, and $6.9 million for workforce development and community programmes. In January Oracle estimated the economic boost to the county at about $384 million a year during construction and $113 million a year once the campus is running, with around 4,000 construction jobs and up to 1,500 ongoing ones.

Fusion Data Intelligence customers

Oracle published three customer stories for Fusion Data Intelligence, its prebuilt analytics service for Fusion Applications, on 21 May. Heathrow, which handled almost 85 million passengers last year, uses it for ERP and HCM analytics, combining revenue and passenger data. Kent, the energy services company formed through a merger in 2021, uses it for visibility of purchase orders, committed spend and accruals, and for supplier risk. MTN, Africa's largest mobile operator with more than 300 million subscribers, uses it across finance and supply chain for working capital, freight and customs, and procurement.

Kubernetes and desktops

On 20 May OCI Kubernetes Engine added a preview of Kubernetes 1.36.0, which the upstream project released on 22 April. Oracle's release note says the preview is for testing only, not production, and runs only in its commercial realm (OC1), and that production support will come with a later 1.36.1 release. Support for Kubernetes 1.33 ends 30 days after that release.

An OCI blog post on 29 May set out OCI Secure Desktops, Oracle's hosted virtual desktop service, as a way to give contractors and people on personal devices a managed workspace, with access removed when an engagement ends. Oracle said on 1 June that it will report its fourth-quarter and full-year results on 10 June.
