Insights

Cloud Strategy Analyst

Oracle launched Multicloud Universal Credits to let customers buy Oracle AI Database and OCI services across major clouds.

Oracle introduces a unified consumption model that lets customers use credits for Oracle AI Database and OCI across AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, and OCI, simplifying procurement with consistent contracts and governance.

The main dependency is cloud marketplace policies, which determine where credits can be used; contractual consistency helps procurement but does not change each cloud's regional availability rules. Operationally, customers gain the ability to deploy Oracle AI Database workloads in more regions and under one commercial framework.

Watch for early access availability and the program's marketplace terms and supported regions; expect meaningful customer adoption signals within months after the early access phase starting from Oct. 14, 2025.

First cross-cloud consumption model  will enable customers to quickly and easily buy Oracle AI Database and OCI services in the cloud of their choice

Customers will be able to streamline procurement with flexible terms and consistent contracts across AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, and OCI

LAS VEGAS, Oct. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Oracle AI World -- Oracle today introduced Oracle Multicloud Universal Credits, a new licensing option that will enable customers to procure Oracle AI Database and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) services more quickly and easily in the cloud of their choice. The new Multicloud Universal Credits will be usable across Oracle Database@AWS, Oracle Database@Azure, Oracle Database@Google Cloud, and OCI, enabling customers to streamline procurement, benefit from consistent contracts across clouds, and operate Oracle databases in their preferred region, subject to the cloud service provider's marketplace policies.

"Procurement and governance are often roadblocks for innovation," said Dave McCarthy, research vice president, IDC. "Oracle has already done the technical work to create multicloud offerings in AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure, and now they've taken it a step further and simplified procurement, contracting, and governance to provide even more flexibility to customers. Oracle Multicloud Universal Credits could be the jet fuel that accelerates widespread adoption of Oracle's multicloud services."

Unified Cross-Cloud Experience
Oracle Multicloud Universal Credits will provide customers with unique capabilities including:

• A single consumption model across clouds: Provides seamless administration and governance for procuring and operating Oracle databases across multiple clouds. In addition, customers can apply this program to procure any OCI service.
• Expanded access to regions across clouds: Gives customers more options for running applications by enabling them to deploy Oracle AI Database workloads on OCI across any available AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, or OCI region.
• Workload portability and flexibility: Provides commercial freedom to run Oracle AI Database workloads across multiple clouds and facilitates a consistent database management experience.

"Oracle's industry-leading multicloud solution is designed to help customers accelerate application modernization and cloud migrations," said Karan Batta, senior vice president, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. "With multiple regions now live across AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure and the coming launch of Oracle Multicloud Universal Credits, we're giving customers more choices and flexibility than ever by simplifying contracts and introducing the industry's first flexible, cross-cloud consumption model."
