Database giant Oracle has been busy of late, introducing a new container deployment and management platform, Verrazzano, and adding new machine learning capabilities to its MySQL HeatWave database service, but the company continues to get knocked over being late to the game in some senses and catering only to its existing customer base in others. However, Oracle competitors such as IBM, Microsoft, Amazon Web Services, Google and others beat Oracle to market with container management platforms based on Kubernetes. In an interview, Cabelus acknowledged that Oracle may not have been first to market with a platform, but that it is not too late, as according to analysts the journey for enterprise customers to containerization and multicloud environments is only about 5% done.

As such, it is similar to many other products on the market, and Oracle is a bit late to the game.

Indeed, “Oracle Verrazzano builds on the Oracle WebLogic Kubernetes Toolkit by enabling you to easily move your application to containers and to Kubernetes, and to automate the deployment of the WebLogic Kubernetes Operator, provisioning of a WebLogic domain, configuring access to the application, and collecting metrics and log records for the domain and application,” he said in the post.
