Oracle announced today that it would open a second cloud region in Singapore amid a surge in demand for cloud services in APAC.   The cloud giant reportedly plans to open 10 additional public cloud regions by an unspecified date.  Oracle currently operates 41 public cloud regions in 22 countries.  Oracle’s existing public cloud region in Singapore boasts over 1,000 customers.  The upcoming Oracle cloud region in Singapore will provide access to 100+ OCI services and applications, including Oracle Autonomous Database, MySQL, Oracle Container Engine for Kubernetes, and many more.  In Dec. 2022, Oracle CEO Safra Catz announced plans to invest $2.4B quarterly in cloud infrastructure to ensure the company meets the “accelerating demand” for cloud services.     AWS, Microsoft, and Google all have public cloud regions in Singapore.
