I actually wanna setup a vm in different region (from the free option only)... Will try that out. Thanks
Always free available only in the home region. You can't use free compute instance or any other resources in a different region. You have to pay for that.
Ohh. So even if I go to Pay-as-you-go plan, I cannot create instances in different regions?
Bruh, you can create instances in different regions, but you will have to pay for them. How hard is it to understand?
Also there is like a 85 euro hold when upgrading
Will Oracle charge account for increasing IOPS (VPU) of Block storage?
https://www.oracle.com/cloud/storage/pricing/
Have you successfully managed to increase VPU without incurring costs?
I have maximum VPU on free tier from date that I posted that comment here.
No charges.
No charges either for two friends who also did it when I showed them method.
In this thread there was someone who contacted support about it and support told him that if its available on free tier it means it is free for now.
They likely have enough bandwidth and they don't care about it. It may change however and they could slow it down.
how many oracle free vps can i have?
NO
A maximum of four. Total storage is 200 GB while each VPS can't have storage smaller than 50 GB. This could be 2 x64 + 2 arm64, 4 arm 64, or 1 x64 + 3 arm 64.
Free tier only includes two block volumes, can't have more than two VPS while staying fully free
I'm pretty sure this is false. I had 3 vps (1x 64, 2x ARM) for almost a year on free tier, each 50GB

When you crate a VPS it's called boot volume
You're right, found a more informative source: https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/FreeTier/freetier_topic-Always_Free_Resources.htm#blockvolume
I tried to register twice, both failed. All of my info is real. Seems it closes the free tier.
Yes, because they still want your personal data and they won't totally announce closing of free tier. The would just make it hard to register.
Have you ever considered that they simply don't want you there and/or deemed you high risk?
Oracle can shut down your free tier account anytime. Don't bother signing up, even for testing stuff, it's not worth it. Get a cheap $20 vps instead.
Just got mine terminated after 2 days without citing any reason.
All I did was install an nginx using "apt install nginx". Next day I get authorization error on my oracle account
I didn’t have bad terms with Oracle.
For arm, I can have a total of 4 core and 24 gb? So I can have 4x (1 core, 6gb)?
Yes, you can divide 4c/24g to 2/3/4 VMs if you want.
Keep in mind that minimum boot volume is 47GB and your limit for block storage is 200GB. So if you have 4 ARM instances then you have only 12GB block storage left - you cant create x86 instance (as it requires 47GB too).
Boot volumes are calculated as block storage on Oracle Cloud.
Thanks.
So after 2 x86 instances I'll get 2x (2 core, 12gb) arm
Exactly
That’s maybe issue with your cards or something. Been using for 2 years and no problem so far
It’s always a gamble so can’t trust our data with it
But that's perfect for testing.
Or backups. A 200 GB NextCloud account for free is nice, however long it lasts
I made a seedbox and Plex server using the Swiss location. So far so good
no dmca issues with public torrents?
Or
using/seeding only pvt tracker torrents?
Public, yes. It’s been going on since a few months now so I assume DMCA isn’t a thing for that location.
