    password reset doesn't work for me either (in firefox).
    what worked was to request a password reset and follow the link in the email.

    How can I add public IPv4 to exists network?
    I have a Reserved Public IP Address

    I found it.

    What is this Ephermal IP? Which one are you choosing for the free tier, Ephermal or Reserved?
    From the definition it looks Ephermal will be 'destroyed' once the private IP is lost/rotated or instance is killed.

    That's correct. A reserved IP stays with the account and can be moved to a new VM. Ephemeral is only for the lifetime of the VM or until Oracle remove all your IPs.

    The always free tier VMs, accessible for a couple of years, suddenly lost their public IPs.

    Anyone has the same issue here?

    I always knew Oracle had their B or C team working on this, but I still cannot tell if they are only incompetent or also malicious.

  • @Hotmarer said:

    1 reserved IP has always been allowed and limits are printed when trying to add another. Secondly, the option to still reserve one IP hasn't been removed. What a dumb post, and that's official?

  • @djn said:
    Nice of them to send a email
    took me ages to notice the public ips had been removed

    Ugh, dafuq? Use monitoring.

    You use the reserved IP on the server you want the least downtime and issues and use ddns and ephemeral IP's for the rest.

    Though, I'm fairly certain in last several years, it's more likely to lose the server from failure than just get a new IP assigned.

    Thank you for posting that because I thought I was crazy and now just noticed a bunch of other instances I have are missing IPs now. Checked my email and never got a notification on this production incident, so a bit annoyed.

  • What a hard sweep to gather back their IPs... can't imagine Oracle being so unprofessional. If you can't give FREE service, just don't. Why keep creating problems and then making up excused like a 5yr old.

  • @mehargags said: Why keep creating problems and then making up excused like a 5yr old.

    And this mindset is why no company should be offering free stuff, ever.
    People think it'd be great for gaining mindshare but all it does is bring cheapskates who demand the same level of service as someone spending six figures with the big boys (AWS and the likes)

    Well, you are right at some point that cheapstakes ruin it fo everyone and you can't really avoid the 'abuses'. However, ORACLE is offering free service as a learning phase for themselves, just like every big tech company does. I really appreciate such a phase and acknowledge the money they are pumping into it but such a big and mature tech company without proper checks and balances over their 'actions' in NOT acceptable.

    Part of this 'free tier' experiment is to 'establish' yourself as a good service, and such incidents are going to burn down the whole repo. It just boils down to... 'do it good or don't do it at all'

    What do you mean? This is a textbook example why they should. Fucking up paid accounts is much worse. They need better employees, and looks like they train the newbs on the free beta testers. A "staging" server of free users.

    You make the argument why a company shouldn't use free products.

    Is it just me or is the OCI UI fu****d for everyone? No matter which resource I want to view, a red exclamation mark inside a red circle is all that appears with the cryptic "undefined is not an object (evaluating 't.status')" below it. Am on free tier with a couple of AMD instances in India (south). Though instances run fine.

    Make sure your browser isn't script blocking. I can't login to Oracle on chrome but works with Brave. shrug

    Clear cookie that's the issue usually, also enable 3rd party cookies since they have like 5 domains

    I had intermittent issues with the web UI yesterday, although, things still seemed to work after a few retries.

    As an aside, have they removed the UHP disk loophole for new instances?

    1. Go to https://www.oracle.com/support/support-options.html#free-tab.
    2. Click "Open the Cloud Support Chat here".
    3. Choose "Questions or issues related to sign-up, trials, account, passwords, promotions or subscriptions".
    4. Ask first stupid question like "I have a problem because i cannot find a password reset form".
    5. The consultant will answer the question and ask if he can help with anything else.
    6. Ask your target question, if you have FreeTier, this is the only possible option to contact a technician.
    7. Profit, you managed to contact a tech person without a paid service.
