Cloud Center of Excellence
(CCoE)
One of our key differentiator in our OCI practice is experience in creating CLOUD CENTER OF EXCELLENCE (CCoE) for our customers. We provide managed services to enable OCI public cloud-based projects throughout the cloud adoption journey. Our CCoE approach focuses on:
01
Strategy, Governance and Organizational Structure
02
Guidelines and Standards
03
Cloud Factory Enablement
04
Operational Readiness
A CCoE will transform culture by embracing Agile methodology, implementing DevOps processes, and adopting GitOps for full automation.
Implementing GitOps means moving away from a prescriptive way of implementing operations to a declarative approach that supports full automation.

OCI Migration FAQs
What are the benefits of migrating to OCI?
Cost savings: OCI provides significant cost reductions compared to on-premises infrastructure and other cloud providers. Customers can save up to 50% on compute costs, 70% on block storage, and 80% on networking compared to AWS.
Performance: OCI is designed for high-performance computing, with state-of-the-art hardware and networking capabilities. This results in faster application response times and improved overall system performance.
Scalability: OCI offers highly scalable infrastructure that can quickly adapt to varying workload levels. Organizations can easily scale resources up or down to meet demand, whether for seasonal peaks or sustained growth.
Security: OCI provides robust security features including data encryption, network security groups, and web application firewalls. The shared security model ensures both Oracle and customers are responsible for securing their respective areas.
Modernization: OCI enables organizations to modernize legacy applications and adopt cloud-native technologies. Services like Oracle Autonomous Database and support for containers/serverless computing provide opportunities for innovation.
How OCI pricing is distinct from other cloud hyperscalers?
Consistent global pricing: Unlike other providers, OCI charges the same price for services across all global regions, including government regions.
Lower data egress fees: OCI charges significantly less for data egress compared to other providers, with the first 10 TB per month free. This is especially beneficial for data-intensive workloads.
Flexible compute: OCI’s flexible compute instances allow customers to independently scale OCPUs and memory, optimizing costs for specific workload requirements.
Simple storage pricing: OCI offers straightforward storage pricing without complex formulas or provisioning charges. Block storage performance can automatically tune down when appropriate to increase savings.
Universal Credits: OCI’s Universal Credits provide flexibility to use any OCI service in any region, allowing easy budget reallocation as needs change.
Support Rewards: The Oracle Support Rewards program allows customers to reduce their on-premises technical support costs by up to 33% for every $1 spent on OCI.

How does Readiness IT's GitOps and Terraform approach benefit OCI deployments?
- Automation: By leveraging GitOps principles and Terraform, Readiness IT can automate the provisioning, configuration, and management of OCI resources. This reduces manual errors and increases deployment speed.
- Version control: Infrastructure changes are tracked in Git repositories, providing a clear audit trail and enabling easy rollbacks if needed.
- Consistency: The declarative nature of Terraform ensures that infrastructure is deployed consistently across environments, reducing configuration drifts.
- Collaboration: GitOps practices facilitate better collaboration between development and operations teams, improving overall DevOps processes.
- Scalability: Terraform’s modular approach allows for easy scaling of infrastructure as needs grow, which aligns well with OCI’s scalable nature.
- Compliance and security: Infrastructure-as-Code practices enable better enforcement of security policies and compliance requirements across OCI deployments.
