- InvaderFizz 5y agoIf Larry wants to have one less yacht to subsidize me and compete with the big boys, count me in. Oracle Cloud has serious issues around service and feature pairity, but if you can work around those, it's a lot cheaper.
- jl6 5y agoWhat service issues are you referring to?
- jffry 5y agoGood luck actually provisioning such an instance though. At least for the past month I have been unable to actually provision one of the free-tier instances due to no available capacity in the regions I tried.
- eb0la 5y agoBe careful with that! You can launch free tier instances anywhere you like in Oracle cloud, but unless they are in your home region, Oracle will charge you full price.
- seanlane 5y agoI've never had problems launching out of San Jose, CA, which is the closest region to me, but I can't say I've tried others.
- Cyclenerd 5y agoSounded exciting. I looked it up right away. Seems to be only 10TB yet. But it is also great. Source: https://www.oracle.com/cloud/free/#always-free https://www.oracle.com/cloud/free/#always-free
- seanlane 5y agoDang, you're right. I know it used to be 20TB/mo, and you can find other references to it around the Internet. I wonder when it changed...
- mekster 5y agoUnless they relicense zfs into GPL compatible one, I'm not going to touch Oracle products. They're killing such a great innovation that no one can replace in the past 15 years and not likely for another 10 years. But thanks to Ubuntu I can still use it with relative confidence.
