Oracle free tier, 4arm cores, 200gb storage, 24gb ram, zero money's spent
Oracle is all fun and games until they lose your instance’s IP or data and don’t give it back because you’re a free tier freeloader.
That sounds like the bitter expression of regret and experience.
thats why you make backups and update the dns records 😎
I do enough of this in the day job. I don’t have time to mess around with free hosting to save $20 a month.
Amen.
true, i host services on my own infrastructure so i dont have to worry about that but for some people the free tier is worth the hassle :)
I got a bunch of servers on OCI, but I'd never rely on it heavily without a backup plan or lack of attachment
No catch? Especially with Oracle? Hard to believe kinda, nothing is ever "free".
It's a great deal, if you stay small, the idea is a loss leader, they temp you in and you set up your service, then when you need to scale up, they charge the extras.
