    Thanks for the heads-up!

    I know people HATE oracle but for me its perfect, i’m just dinking around and I don’t want to abuse making new AWS accounts for their 12 months free tier for a computer instance.

    I know that one of the reason they terminate instances is if they are deemed inactive as such that 20 percent or less CPU activity and some other fairly high minimums.

    I also know almost all cloud providers including cloudflare hate certain things like plex media servers for potential copyright violations.

    I’d say the reasons are perhaps unfair but nonetheless present.

    Anyways i personally just found out about it so as poorly received as the post has been, I hope someone does find this to be a fun way to dink around too

      I hope it lasts for you, I created one as a secondary to my main paid VPS elsewhere. The oracle one just vanished. No warning in advance, no email and very confusingly no evidence that it ever even existed. Thankfully I had no data of note on it. So free, yes - but utterly unreliable. I was just using it to learn and it had no reason to be deleted such as breaching any fair use etc
