Description
The Oracle Cloud SDK is significantly more cumbersome and less intuitive compared to SDKs from other major cloud providers (AWS, GCP, Azure).
It lacks consistent design patterns, has poor documentation, and the developer experience is frustrating when trying to perform even simple tasks (like authentication, client initialization, or resource management).
Please evaluate and improve the usability, consistency, and documentation quality of the Oracle SDK to match industry standards.
