Oracle Free Tier being reduced....

https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/FreeTier/freetier_topic-Always_Free_Resources.htm

Seems its going down from 4 ocpu 24gb ram to 2 ocpu and 12 gb ram

Its probably going to impact existing free instances ?

    Too late to try

    thanks for the heads up, any idea how they are going to implement this on existing users?

    Yes, it will impact existing free ARM instances as well. A Reddit user commented that they contacted Oracle support and were told that existing Always Free ARM VMs exceeding the new limits would eventually be stopped unless the account is upgraded to a paid account and the excess resources are billed.

    No clue but I'd guess they will email folks about it with some deadline and then charge folks after that date or kill the instances if there's no card/etc. attached. That or they will rename the current things to something new and "retire" the current thing to force you to recreate/migrate to the new system. GCP (google) did something similar with compute like forever ago for their free tier.

    I think this is due to the compute demands of LLMs

    it’s also lucrative for someone even as 2cores + 12GB.

    Never liked their cloud business even free i wouldn't recommend it.
    Too complex, too much engineered, their licensing is already a big scam. But their database is one of a kind.

    How many free IPv4 addresses are left? Is it still 2 or 1?

    Are they able to sign up?

    Never tried to register myself, but according to what people post here, by far not every applicant is accepted.

    @DataRecovery said: Are they able to sign up?

    Depends. Oracle is very demanding and can reject you for multiple reasons.

    The mjj can be very determined if anything is offered for free.

    Probably yes. However, if you pass their checks, servers are pretty stable, especially for the money.

  • varwwwvarwww Member

    Anyone proactively reduced their instance? 😅

    I have. Don't need "unplanned maintenance". 😬

    Oh yeah, but you also face the random terminations for no reasons. xD

    I did notice that the runners werent working anymore, went to contact them and then got back

    "Thank you for contacting us regarding your account. We have escalated your account for review and it was determined that it will remain closed. This decision is final."

    hella funny. Bought me an arm sbc then, solved that stupidity

  • JohnFilch123JohnFilch123 Member

    @Mainfrezzer said: you also face the random terminations for no reason

    The way around it is convert to PAYG and keep it slightly outside of Free Tier, so they would not terminate a paying customer :lol:
