> Unlike GCP and Azure, all AWS regions are (were) partitioned by design. This "blast radius" is (was) fantastic for resilience, security, and data sovereignty. It is (was) incredibly easy to be compliant in AWS, not to mention the ruggedness benefits.

Could you elaborate on this a little? We use AWS, but are evaluating OCI for certain (very specific) cases, and I'll love to know what questions to ask for comparison purposes.

You likely won't get anywhere asking Oracle questions, their sales is very good at (not) answering.

Here is how partitioned/isolated OCI is by design:

While that's fixed, it speaks volumes to the architecture. Very little has changed since 2018: https://www.brightworkresearch.com/how-to-understand-the-pro...

As noted there, I'd argue OCI is more akin to Softlayer/Bluemix than to GCP, Azure, or AWS, but depending on your certain very specific cases OCI may still be appropriate.
