Hi, i am considering moving my project from aws to Oracle free forever server. (They offer 1 server for free forever). I know that they delete the server randomly sometimes. So we might sometimes lose all our data. Here is what i want to know, from those who have previously used Oracle Free Forever server:
- In my case it is a Analytics server. So i dont mind losing the current data sometimes
- It also have auto backup and stuff. Again dont mind if they randomly delete it
Can i manually re-create the server after they delete it? Also it will be free right? And like any other issues that i should be aware of? How often does this Random deletion of server happens?
OCI has a very generous free tier that doesn’t even require credit card info. While for instance AWS has a free tier, the resources that are free are mostly the serverless stuff that only applies to their ecosystem, whereas OCI lets you use a significant amount of VM compute and even a decent amount of block storage. You can do a lot with it without ever paying a cent or having to learn OCI specific tech
Fair enough. While I do have problems with Oracle as a company that would prevent me from considering their services, my comment above this is just in jest about the community.
Not meaning to be seriously dismissive or judgemental of the question. I totally understand using whatever resources are available.
