    @mehargags said:
    @CyberneticTitan so you mean you just move the UHP slider to max 120 and the performance increased?

    In my experience I found that to be true.

    Negative for me... the benchmark remained as is but after DETACH/REATTACH the I/O benchmarks are +120mbps

    It appears Russian users have gotten their accounts disabled for login into the panel, however the VPSes still run. Anyone concerned should make backups ASAP. (Not that anything non-backed-up should have been stored there to begin with)

    People report receiving this from Oracle:

We will continue to monitor the situation and the rapidly changing laws and regulations and will take action accordingly.

    oracle always free!!

  • dotcomUNDERGROUNDdotcomUNDERGROUND Member

    I signed up with Singapore region and can not find " VM.Standard.E2.1.Micro". "VM.Standard.A1.Flex" is the only one with "always free" label.

    Am I missing something?

    Did someone open an account recently and if so, how much oracle reserved on a credit card?

    After a "reboot migration", my Epyc instance now has 480Mbps like originally advertised.

    Previously it was always limited to 50Mbps for some reason. In London.

  • CyberneticTitanCyberneticTitan Member

    Yeah they definitely changed something. I have two of those EPYC nodes in Phoenix, AZ. One of them was reboot migrated and one was not. Some yabs:

    Send speed seems to be unlocked in both cases but receive seems to be degraded a little bit. I ran the iperf test a few times and saw the same thing. It could be any number of things but it's no longer capped at 50 Mbps it seems.

    I also noticed that the migrated one now has VM-x/AMD-V enabled by default? Not sure if these instances supported that before but during migration I didn't change any settings on my VM.

    It was previously hit and miss. Some instances had virt enabled and some didn't, purely based on luck of which node you're on. Some changed from supporting it to not supporting it after shutdowns or reboots without any real pattern.

    I rolled a new ARM instance and noticed a default user opc present alongside the regular ubuntu ssh user

    opc:x:1000:1000::/home/opc:/bin/sh

    Does anyone know the purpose?

    Same with me... Maybe SG does not have the package yet..
    Also very difficult to get the Flex either..

  • mfrthmfrth Member

    Hello I'm new here but I already have account with oracle and wanted to ask why i can't even get to the create instance page anymore? I already run 2 VM but wanted to give ARM a try.

    Out of capacity for shape VM.Standard.A1.Flex in availability domain AD-1. Create the instance in a different availability domain or try again later. If you specified a fault domain, try creating the instance without specifying a fault domain. If that doesn’t work, please try again later.

    and apparently trying to reach their live agent need me to upgrade to paid account. So I tried adding my card again, holy Fu**. Luckily my balance is low, oracle needs to charge me $139 (SGD). I ONLY ONLY use their always free tier (2 virtual machines), where the heck those numbers come from?

    Check your boot volumes if they say always free or not.

    I can't trace back the link to guide, but it involves using oci-cli to communicate with API. Once everything is set up you can just write a script and use cron to automate it.
