Is anyone else facing this issue?, just tried to login into my account (APAC Mumbai) and got this, servers are not accessible either
Edit: Suspended for some reason, may be card issue
They revalidated credit card few day ago.
Did a geekbench 2core virmach intel vs 2core oracle arm
https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/8281718
https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/8281447
so its more than twice as fast for free
Just wondering, is oracle cloud network use ddos protection?
I tried Mastercard both with ghost card and real credit card and they didn't take it, and I haven't heard back from them
You need to use normal credit/debit card with 3D secure

L3/4 seems to be always on and free of charge, L7/WAF is a paid thingy.
This is a 16 Core AMD-Flexi VPS benchmark
Where is cost analysis? I know it'll be right in front of me as soon as you point it out...
Hamburger -> Governance and administration (near bottom) -> Cost analysis (near bottom)
To make it more useful you can use "Grouping dimensions" to show by region or product and service description.
Can also type in "cost" in the search box. xD
Thanks, I did find it shortly after posting, exactly like "how did I not see this before?" .
Is anyone aware if the load balancers ephemeral IP address is considered as part of your "general" pool of IP addresses that can be used for instances?
Yes. It's been stated here before that this can be done.
Networking > IP Management > Public IPs
Create one there and then you can attach it to a service one at a time.
To attach a reserved IP to a compute instance, you add it to the primary VNIC under 'Resource' in your instance's control page. Big 'ol blue button that says 'Assign Secondary Private IP address' and the menu there allows you to add the ephemeral IP address
Yes, I am already familiar with the reserved public IP section of networking.
I already have three instances, the last one being the ARM with that public reserved IP so it sounds like I've reached my limit and would need to switch to a private IP address for that ELB.
The free account limits you to just 1 ephemeral IP. It's either a load balancer or a 3rd IP for an instance. You can increase this, but its paid then.
Would be neat-o to use the NAT gateway but that is also a paid feature.
I have a dumb service I wanted to use the load balancer to do least connection across a few containers, but I'll just HAProxy on the host itself; yolo. Thanks for reaffirming. 3 IPs is still very generous.
I will remind new oracle customers:
https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/FreeTier/freetier.htm
That's interesting. Gives out they clearly have separate availability pools for the free and paid users, where on the free tier you can't actually create or run any due to "Out of host capacity" nowadays.
I have had success so far in UK South (London) and Phoenix for ARM instances up to the full capabilities on free tier (out of trial period). I'm hoping I'll be able to roll ARM instances to all of my accounts before the out of capacity becomes an issue.
Are you guys able to create block volumes that are not 50GB in size (so 100GB, or 25GB, or 200GB)?
edit: Ah I see now. Boot volumes must be 50GB, block volumes can be up to 200GB. This is all so unintuitive and verbose.
"Details of the Always Free Block Volume resources
200 GB total of combined boot volume and block volume Always Free Block Volume storage."
"You can customize the instance's boot volume size up to 200 GB; however, this will use up your full allotment of storage for Always Free Block Volume resources."
I was unable to customize the boot volume to 200GB. Anyone else?
edit2: it seems that I have some "zombie" volumes from previous instances I spun up but were not automatically deleted.
both block and boot volumes must have a minimum size of 50GB so if you run 4 instances you automatically won't have any more disk space to provision.

You upgraded exist storage or create new?
Update:
I can upgrade exists volume.
Did anyone figure out a way to see how much data was used for the current month (out of the 10TB free)? I couldn't find anything in the UI.
I found https://gist.github.com/alastori/d05534599fdbe8a5971629079c9cc18f and I was able to programatically pull the .csv.gz files but it's quite a pain to import the files (not to mention the queries are quite complex).
Thank you.
Can someone guide me 101 on how to open up specific ports?
I just deleted all my VCN settings and spinned up a new VM so I'm starting from 0.
How to Host a Website in Oracle Cloud Free Tier "Configure Ingress Rules" section has screenshots for opening ports for HTTP server.
This article was written before Oracle Cloud introduced IPv6.
For IPv6, you need to repeat the same steps but substitute 0.0.0.0/0 with ::/0.
Don't forget the local iptables.
It's described in the next section.
For IPv6, repeat each iptables command and substitute iptables with ip6tables.
Got it, thank you. Now I have another problem, how do I generate and pull ssh keys for users different from the Ubuntu one? I created a ZNC user and I'd like to directly ssh into it and also uso sftp with filezilla
@yavernoxia Your question is off-topic here. Just refer to one of many tutorials on the internet. I recommend the mostly excellent written tutorials on https://digitalocean.com/community/tutorials.
