I do not trust oracle, even when they say it's free.

It's taking like half an hour to "set up" already. Never used oracle before, only using g cloud.

Literally took like 40 minutes before I was able to start setting up a virtual machine. It does work. Although in my region only oracle 7.9 is available with ampere... You can use chroot of course but...
Theres also no debian offering. At all. Ubuntu only.

Sooo, did anyone try to create those arm always free instances? When I create one, it doesnt say always free. When I create AMD VM.Standard.E2.1.Micro it does say always free. Region EU-FRANKFURT-1-AD-3

I already have one 24gb vm so IDK, maybe no more space for everyone.

I can create instance too, but it doesnt say always free. While with x86 instance, it does say always free. check the image:



Found somewhere in documentation that these ARM VMs have to be deleted and created again every 30 days to remain free.
