Oracle Debuts Its First Arm-based Cloud Instances

Oracle is giving customers more choice and flexibility with the launch of its first Arm-based cloud compute offering on the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure platform. From a report: The new offering, called OCI Ampere A1 Compute, is designed to power both general-purpose and cloud-native workloads that demand high performance at more manageable costs, Oracle said today. It's based on the Ampere Altra architecture built by Ampere Computing. Today's announcement comes as Oracle makes a big investment into the Arm ecosystem more generally, with the availability of more resources and tools, including a new development environment for developers that's intended to support Arm-based application development. Arm's central processing units are known for their extremely efficient, flexible and scalable architecture. They're most prominently used in smaller devices such as smartphones, but in more recent years they have come to power everything from personal computers and "internet of things" devices to computer servers and even supercomputers. Oracle said its new Arm compute instances come in a range of options and sizes to fit just about any workload, with choices including what it says are the industry's first Arm-based flexible virtual machine shapes that can be right-sized for different jobs. There are also more powerful bare metal server options.
