Oracle Cloud's Lifetime free services (2 VPS + more)

[a.c]

@Rehan Kumar is the website test.seedbx.com on Mumbai DC or Hyderabad?

It's hosted in Mumbai, I get around 30ms ping using airtel in delhi NCR

I was thinking of same, i.e. to disable and switch to Google cloud for a year. But every year I would have to reconfigure the VM and also transfer some data. Now since Oracle cloud is lifetime free (hopefully they wont change policy), once configured, I can simply forget.



I wasnt even charged for some unknown reason.

@Rehan Kumar - are you related to Oracle cloud?

No, i am not related to them in any way

@Rehan Kumar

If I am not wrong you offered to share a service with forum members, weren't you?

 

[Rehan Kumar]

You mean Oracle cloud?
Or my previous posts where I wanted to share a hetzner server?

Meh, Okay. It's not all that great for my use case. i.e. A DoT/DoH server.

Compute instances only get 1/8 of an "oracle" cpu and 1gb ram which is not great since I want lower latencies. Weak processor like this is going to make it worse.
The always free Load balancer can only do 10mbit while the free tier instances can do 480mbit up/down. So, Load balancer is also not all that useful.

I'll figure out some thing else I can host there.

I am also not sure how exactly they divide the cores, but you do get 2 threads in those free VMs (mostly AMD epyc based)
Maybe it's the amount of time your processor can utilize full resources.

Take a look at these also: Free for developers

Do they have any fair usage policy on cpu utilisation like some cheap cloud providers do ?

Hyderabad Oracle Cloud speedtest
