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.

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.
