OCI vs OIC – Know the Difference in Oracle Cloud When you're exploring Oracle Cloud, two terms that sound similar — but do very different jobs — are: 🔹 OCI – Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 🔹 OIC – Oracle Integration Cloud Here’s a quick breakdown to clear the confusion 👇 🔷 What is OCI? (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure) OCI is Oracle’s core cloud platform — a suite of Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) offerings. It provides the foundation to build and run any application with services like: 🖥️ Compute (VMs, bare metal) 💾 Storage (block, object) 🌐 Networking (VCN, Load Balancer) 🔐 Identity & Access (IAM, Vault) 🧠 Think of OCI as the “ground floor” where cloud apps and services are built and hosted. 🔷 What is OIC? (Oracle Integration Cloud) OIC is a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) built on top of OCI. It’s designed to help you: 🔗 Connect Oracle and third-party apps (like ERP, HCM, Salesforce, etc.) 🔁 Automate business workflows ⚙️ Expose and consume REST/SOAP APIs 👨💻 Build integrations with low-code tools 🧠 Think of OIC as the “connector layer” that moves data between systems. 📌 Key Differences: 👉 Type • OCI – IaaS (Infrastructure) • OIC – PaaS (Integration Platform) 👉 Purpose • OCI – Host applications, storage, security • OIC – Connect apps and automate processes 👉 Used By • OCI – Cloud/Infra Engineers, DevOps • OIC – Integration Developers, Architects 👉 Example Use • OCI – Launch a virtual machine • OIC – Integrate Oracle ERP with Salesforce 👉 Relationship • OCI – Base platform • OIC – Runs on top of OCI 🚀 In short: OCI is the engine room of Oracle Cloud. OIC is one of the many tools that runs on OCI — designed to simplify integration.
