is it still worthwhile getting? i tried mid last year and was not able to use any of my cards to "authorize" the account.
Yes, for sure.
It's totally free for the specs worth around $20 USD per month.
When creating make sure to also try selecting the other AD's in your area if they're listed (AD-2,AD-3)
Only AD-1 available on singapore

Probably worth a lot more than $20 a month. You can get a 4 x Cores, 24GB ram, 200GB fast drive and 4gbps network, 5 snapshots/backup, plus s 2 separate micro instances (2 x cores, 1GB ram). And of course a proper web interface, with networking, firewall, monitoring etc.
That's worth a lot more than $20 a month.
Yep and with 10TB transfer (or people say not actually metered) in Singapore or Tokyo.
I'm newbie on oracle. Does anyone know how to get vps arm ? when i'm create always show
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.
Many thanks
You need to wait and try again. This is the only way for samourai.
Really struggling
Windows needs more disk space and ram . Sorry but there is no free Windows VM.
They don't limit it on the Arm instance from my experience. I do about 40TB egress a month on my Johannesburg free Arm instance. Been up since they launched South Africa.
Have you ever considered buying a account with oracle , because registering oneself does not pass, in fact, this is not a problem with credit card.
Thanks for sharing this. I will get this.
Can't figure out how to access the instance I created. the Public IP Address shows "Unavailable".
You can claim a Reserved IP and add to your instance.
Reclamation of Idle Compute Instances
Idle Always Free compute instances may be reclaimed by Oracle. Oracle will deem virtual machine and bare metal compute instances as idle if, during a 7-day period, the following are true:
CPU utilization for the 95th percentile is less than 10%
Network utilization is less than 10%
Memory utilization is less than 10% (applies to A1 shapes only)
how do you read this?
If one condition is true or ALL conditions are true?

Search for word
Reclamation
using ctrl +f.from the wordings, it seems like all conditions needs to be satisfied.
Can someone please explain me the point for CPU utilization?
Thanks in advance
95% percentil = you count all measurement points in the last 7days. If 95% of them are below 10% cpu utilization, then the condition ist met. I would assume that oracle checks every Minute or every 5 Minute.
Ooh. Got it now.
Thank you for the explanation
Guys, what is the way to make A1 NOT free? I understand that 4 OCPU and 24GB RAM is included in Free Tier. My A1 is 25GB RAM, the calculator shows that it will cost $0.9 per month, however my bill is 0 so far.
I don't think you can have 25GB on the A1. AFAIK the RAM size is always 6GB per core.
In any case, the actual free allowance is 3000 CPU hours, 18000 GB hours, so even if it was allowed, 25GB would still be free on months with 28 or 30 days.
What about 30GB?
Turn 2FA on or you'll get locked out of your account at some point, it seems.
Anyone able to successfully convert Oracle OS to Debian. I tried this and not sure what I am missing
**After this **
If I ssh via the opc user
you should be logging in as root iirc?
root is blocked. It allows
opc
You're doing something weird!
Just run ./debi.sh --user root --password lmfao
And reboot
Oracle bans some free servers for no reason .
Yeah, if you ask a prisoner why was he convicted for, he will say 'For nothing, I am innocent'. You get the drift.
