Oracle Turns Rivals Into Partners In Pursuit of Cloud Ambitions.

Oracle has announced a partnership with Amazon's cloud unit, solidifying its strategy of collaborating with former rivals and establishing its own presence in the cloud and artificial intelligence era. Oracle has previously formed partnerships with Microsoft and Google, using its flagship database software to offer customers the option of using its relational databases within these cloud platforms. The partnership with Amazon lowers tensions between the two companies and allows Amazon to offer its customers the ability to run Oracle workloads securely and efficiently. Oracle is also promoting its own cloud platform as a cost-effective alternative and is emphasizing its private cloud offering for businesses and governments with data privacy concerns. Additionally, Oracle has introduced "AI agents" for its business software suite, which can perform tasks without human involvement. By leveraging its databases, Oracle aims to expand its customer base in the cloud and AI markets. [Extracted from the article]
