I 100% agree, unfortunately the reality is that it is just not possible…yet. We have projects where the C suite has demanded a cloud transition and a move from Oracle and every single one has been a disaster. The highest tier iops Azure offers is not enough to cover our smallest medium customer. Believe me, I have been working with Oracle since v7. You will be hard pressed to find someone that dislikes Oracle more than me and I pray for the day they go away or have a massive shift like MS has. But, as it relates to SUSE’s growth as a RHEL replacement, Oracle is and will likely continue to be a deterrent. I hope I am wrong because even though I started my Linux journey with Red Hat Halloween, they too have lost me.
Azure has had nvme drives with hundreds of thousands of iops for a couple of years. That plus sharding should take care of any problems. I have personally taken care of a project with 2M tps and it wasn’t even the biggest in my region, at the small-ish company I work for. Yes, re-architecting that is a pain but doable.

Lift and shift may be out of the question tho.
