PaaS		Autonomous DB on Exadata C@C supports PPU and LI for OCPUs; Base infrastructure has minimum lease of 4 years.	RDS For Standard Edition PPU/LI is available, Enterprise Edition requires BYOL. Supports versions 12.1.0.2 up to 21c.	Oracle Database @ Azure Databases are colocated in Azure data centers and managed by Oracle	Oracle Database @ Google Cloud Databases are colocated in Google Cloud data centers and managed by Oracle	Oracle Base DB (DBaaS on VM or Bare Metal) Autonomous DB on shared Exadata infrastructure Dedicated Exadata infrastructure (All: BYOL, PPU/LI)
PaaS			Oracle Database @ AWS Databases are colocated in AWS data centers and managed by Oracle
Multi-Cloud Integrated Oracle Offering Other scenarios behave just like any other Multi-Cloud Setup				Oracle Database Services for Azure (ODSA) Databases are deployed (and billed) in OCI Azure-OCI Interconnect	Oracle Interconnect for Google Cloud	Oracle Database Services for Azure (ODSA) All OCI DB PaaS available in Azure (BYOL, PPU/LI) Azure-OCI Interconnect
Hybrid Cloud		Physical or Virtual Infrastructure as described above (BYOL) Exadata C@C as described above (PPU/LI)				On-premises databases can be managed in OCI Exadata C@C has control plane in OCI

BYOL = Bring Your Own License; PPU = Pay Per Use; LI = License Included
