oci bv boot-volume update --boot-volume-id ocid1.bootvolume.oc1.ap-xxxx-x.xxxxxx --vpus-per-gb 120
Yes they removed it I think I also no longer have it. Kinda sucks since if my VPS dies I get worse SSD
cool thanks!
Like a lot of people here, I have a free tier account running a few containers and everything is fine etc. Does it make sense to upgrade to payg to prevent my account from being randomly terminated? Does it work that way?
I'm thinking about upgrading, but I have received a mistake message about $6323 cost usage in the past, so I'm very worried about upgrading my account to a paid plan.
No need I don't have any termination and I have been using oracle for over a year
Yeah I don't put too much stock in those terminations. People have a habit of saying "I did nothing wrong!!" when they did something wrong. Not saying there aren't exceptions to that or real mistakes in there, but if a VPS provider really wants to crack down on anything elicit, it's not that hard for them to find out who's doing that, and Oracle is surely going to be far different from most providers on LET in that regard.
Probably not a good idea to upgrade billing if you're only ever going to use the always free stuff. The random VM removals and IP reclaiming isn't happening that often anyway. Only ever had 2 of these incidents occur which were not at all that damaging nor time consuming. I just had to update a few dns records after the IPV4 incident and that was it.
happened to me and right after that I got an email apology stating that they reclaimed some customers IP's by accident. so I doubt it's on purpose
Be worried, they are incompetent as fuck.
I think it's somehow worse if it's not on purpose. xD
Do you know if they allow public torrents on any of their locations?
I run torrents on swiss locations for days at a time without issues
Avoid public trackers. I have a friend who had a DMCA letter forwarded to them and their VPS was suspended. To resolve you could either remove the instance or contact support. He decided to remove and create a new one.
anyone knows how to reserve "current" public IP?
Not possible to change the IP type after you've launched it:
I had an ARM instance running for a few months but noticed the instance got wiped or reinstalled when I logged in the last time.
Did anyone experience the same?
Not sure if it's worth setting up again
Can I use free tier for production site ? is it reliable ?
Using it from 1 year in production and so far:
Both instances were migrated to another node in like 5-10 minutes. Other than that it was 100% uptime, no network issues.
If you are worried then get cheapest VPS "just in case" and make 1:1 backup to it. You can get something for $10-$15 year.
Limited support.
No resource mode (or I didn't find it)
Free resource
Random deleted VM (once happend)
Random deleted public ip (once happened)
I don't recommend use for project that make money.
Personal and not really important things fine.
Yes. Just make sure to create a disaster recovery button.
After the last Oracle IP fuck up, I want to say they said something about the freed up IP maybe being available to be reassigned within a short time and it wasn't assigned to someone else.
So if you really had to, you can try deleting it and then immediately adding a reserved IP and specify it.
Actually, they provide free snapshots (manual) so when they do fuck up your server, they don't feel bad and don't immediately try to solve the issue besides saying to restore from backup.
They did a blog post with a simple script to backup the server that you can cron.
Do you have the blog post link?
They also block account & there is no way to get unblocked or get the data back.
Personally I didn't faced this. But many people on Reddit complaining about this where he was running just Minecraft server following OCI blog. Maybe there's some other wrong doings on that account.
The only incident I've had with my instances in Sydney was the loss of my IP addresses. Every other incident was my fault. I'm now running some prod services on the ARM machines, with appropriate backups in place.
One of the x86 idlers:
I want to use it for production , the only problem is directadmin doesn't support arm processor , I have personal license
Don't depend on free services for production.
Why not , it's pretty solid .Some folks here have over a year uptime
If you don't breach Terms , I don't think they will terminate your server .
Because of somethings goes wrong you can't complain to support that it broken. Also you don't have any SLA...
