You can expect 300is GB5 multicore score on the AMD one where's ARM one gets around 3300. Network is 480Mbps vs 4Gbps
It will be like 10 times less. Are you even serious asking. It is limited to 1/8 of a CPU core, REALLY slow, worse than an Atom. Grab the ARM if at all possible in your specific DC.
I have one I took a while ago, if this helps:

use stress/stress-ng to avoid this, https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/stress-test-linux-unix-server-with-stress-ng/
Only assholes would do that.
I just realized this way a necro post.
Just upgrade to PAYG and have a peace of mind.
Just setup public NTP server and set the limit on manage.ntppool.org so you can utilize your idle bandwidth and CPU. I think that is a win-win solution.
I failed to register. I want to buy an account in Ashburn. Is anyone selling it
Acc selling / buying is not allowed here.
It's hard for apply it in China
What about running yabs on cron
Well then you are wasting resources for nothing?
To avoid idle deletion so it’s not nothing
Will it not make the vm look like it is in use? What if win-fail situation is ok?
Nothing gets deleted, just powered off.
Two things I learned this week about Oracle Free Cloud:
1) The only way to raise a technical service request with them for the free tier is over the phone. You can't do it in the support portal because it won't let you since you don't have a paid product (and free tier isn't considered one -- even if you select 'OCI Compute' from the menu).
2) You cannot have Port 25 opened on the free tier. From the horse's mouth:
From Oracle Doc ID 2860364.1:
"NOTE: This service is only applicable for a paid account, and not for a free tier account."
Oh well... I'll have to set up my mail server elsewhere.
Port 25 is open for me on free tier since I registered early
From https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/releasenotes/changes/f7e95770-9844-43db-916c-6ccbaf2cfe24/
Upgrade to PAYG and you restrictions to both will be removed, while incurring 0 charges
I had considered that. I'm opting to just pay for some service elsewhere... If there are any vendors reading this, please hit me up. I just need a VPS on which I'll set up a mail server with some very light use.
If you need mail server very light use, I think it's better to choose mail service provider like mxroute?
Thanks, I considered that, but I prefer to run my own servers with my stack.
Any region is fine, for example, Phoenix, San Jose, or Europe.
I started this thread 2.5 years ago and almost 2,000 comments later...I still haven't tried Oracle's free tier.
Maybe if they get a provider tag.

Do what I did: find girlfriend, register account on her details.

Did anybody else using Phoenix notice a 20 minute downtime beginning 2023-03-12 03:29:58 (UTC+00:00)? Thanks!
Phoenix is up https://ocistatus.oraclecloud.com/#/
