Stop cheering. Oracle still offers a free arm 4x6GB kubernetes cluster and 2 free amd cpu‘s.

It‘s the best free platform for learners and small scale operations.

They can keep the free tier VPS, my problems with Oracle over the years go a bit deeper than that.

It’s 12gb and two ARM instances now. If you can get one. They’re frequently out of capacity. They even suspended the over-provisioned legacy instances.

In paygo mode I still get 4. Their cost calculator also calculates with 4 free ones.

There's a 0.0% chance I trust my credit card number to Oracle. The Free Tier page says up to 2 VMs with 12GB of RAM.

   Compute
   Arm Compute Instance

   Arm-based Ampere A1 cores and 12 GB of memory usable as 1 VM or 2 VMs

   Always Free
   1,500 OCPU hours and 9,000 GB hours per month

As opposed to google AI/gemini key catastrophes and aws billing adventures?

		You claimed Oracle is offering something they aren't. I corrected you. Nobody said anything about AWS or Google.

No it's not, every time I try to sign up they just tell me no. Doesn't matter how much personal info I give them.

▲ yieldcrv a day ago | parent | prev [-]

the only reason there is compute availability is because devs hate Oracle so much that they don't know about it

an LLM told me about that option when I was seeking out free tiers
