I said "screw it" after my Oracle Cloud "always free" account was terminated with no recourse, a few days after having activity on the database building an application prototype, well under the resource limits. I'm now running a libvirt VM on my laptop to develop the prototype.
Others have complained about Oracle Cloud's draconian practices. Doesn't sound like a company that wants to build a cloud business.
Cheers
- haolez 5y agoGood to know. I was actually considering giving them a chance in my company due to their competitive pricing.
- phendrenad2 5y agoI think they're making a classic BigCorp mistake: thinking they can just focus on the high-end customers. They don't realize that everything is connected in this industry, and today's hobbyists and sole proprietors are tomorrow's Fortune 500 VPs of Engineering (and vice versa).
- Havoc 5y agoOracle is extra slimey with their "always-free" stuff though. It's free in the sense that you'll have salesmen after you and always as in maybe two months. GCP on the other hand...have been running on their always-free tier for years no. (One of those 1/4 cpu wordpress VMs)
