The power of Java Cloud Service
Using the Java Cloud Service, you don’t have to worry about setting up any infrastructure details.

For the benefit and security of its users, the Java Cloud Service environment is pre-installed and pre-configured with Oracle’s best practices in deploying applications. It also has flexible compute and depository capabilities that allow you to implement any workload and easily scale your environment according to your requirements. As such, you can be assured of the solution’s scalability and reliability to maximize your productivity and performance.
With WebLogic as the foundation of Java Cloud Service, you can develop and test your application locally using your preferred integrated development environment and then deploy to Java Cloud Service without any code changes. You can also opt to use the Java Cloud Service to build, test, and deploy to on-premise production servers. This approach results in reduced cost and a more efficient development and testing.
