  Yep - https://www.oracle.com/cloud/free/ https://www.oracle.com/cloud/free/ Not sure what's the catch though, Hope someone else who have used it will enlighten us. If I have to take a guess, It would be network performance like most other inexpensive cloud infrastructure providers but the load balancer says 10mbps.

    I'm using it for some personal projects, the only catch is that you have to input your credit card (so you do not create bogus accounts), and it is limited to a subset of regions. I personally do not use the load balancer, but the "normal" VPS do 1gbps just fine. I think it is capped at 10tb/month but I am not sure about that. In general, I can highly recommend them.

      Thank you, That sounds like good setup to save couple of bucks off side projects hosting. Have you checked their security promises? AWS KMS like service would be bit too much to ask I guess, Considering they're VMs FDE should be fine?

        They offer several kinds of encryption at rest, encryption in transit, but I haven't looked further into it yet.
