I currently have the Always Free Oracle instance (Standard.A1.Flex), but I heard that it gets claimed again by Oracle when it is not actively used anymore (https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/FreeTier/freetier_topic-Always_Free_Resources.htm):
Reclamation of Idle Compute Instances: Idle Always Free compute instances may be reclaimed by Oracle. Oracle will deem virtual machine and bare metal compute instances as idle if, during a 7-day period, the following are true:
- CPU utilization for the 95th percentile is less than 15%
- Network utilization is less than 15%
- Memory utilization is less than 15% (applies to A1 shapes only)
What do you do to keep it actively used?
I’ve had my instance since… March 2022? And it hasn’t done much really. But now it has my lemmy instance!
