We have had a few discussions with Oracle regarding its licensing policy

The above is true if you are not running Oracle Linux on Azure. If you
are, the core factors come back into play again.
I did an Azure migration to Windows recently (ok, about two years ago!)
and it started with pay for the licence as you use it, then it was bring
your own licence, then they messed with the core factors. Nothing like
screwing your customers! :(
That huge cost saving by moving to the cloud? Consider it well ....
