Anyone who’s interested in learning about Cloud computing has probably gone through all the different Cloud providers free credits / free tier.
While Oracle isn’t exactly my first thought with generosity (see licence audits), Oracle Cloud Infrastructure have a great free tier including allowance for a good number of CPU cores and memory for ARM Ampere based VMs (Shape name VM.Standard.A1.Flex). You can have between 1 and 4 virtual machines, choosing how many CPUs and memory you want in each.
The downside is they are very difficult to obtain in a lot of Oracle regions with an error message:
A lot of people have used Javascript in the browser Javascript console to retry but I figured OCI has an API and an sdk for Go, I should try and write something to request one of a schedule.
