Oracle || Get 4 Free VPS for Lifetime!

Introduction:
Oracle, a $240 billion tech leader, now offers a free lifetime Virtual Private Server (VPS) with 4 CPU cores, 24 GB of RAM, and 200 GB of SSD storage — sufficient for testing, development, and running lightweight crypto nodes. Although a credit card is required for verification, Oracle promises no charges. During setup, ensure that you select only resources tagged as “always free,” as choosing others will incur charges.

Why It’s Valuable:
Ideal for developers and testers, Oracle’s VPS allows for code deployment, testing, and even running crypto nodes without upfront costs. This powerful setup supports multiple projects, from blockchain applications to decentralized apps, making it a valuable resource for anyone in tech.

Oracle Cloud Always Free Resources Highlights:

Oracle Cloud Always Free resources offer developers and small businesses a no-cost platform to build and test applications. It includes flexible Ampere A1 or AMD-based compute options, two Autonomous Databases with 20 GB storage each, 200 GB of Block Volume, and 10 GB each of Object and Archive Storage. Networking features like a load balancer, 10 TB/month outbound data, and VCN ensure secure and efficient communication. These resources are ideal for small-scale apps, prototypes, or cloud exploration, and are free for life in the home region.

Note: Exceeding these limits incurs charges at standard OCI rates. Users are responsible for monitoring resource consumption to avoid unexpected charges. All usage beyond Always Free allocations is billed according to Oracle’s pay-as-you-go pricing. For more information, refer to Oracle’s Always Free resources documentation.

Available Shapes (Always Free):

• VM.Standard.E2.1.Micro: Up to 2 free VMs with AMD processors.
• VM.Standard.A1.Flex: Free 3,000 OCPU hours + 18,000 GB hours/month (equivalent to 4 OCPUs + 24 GB memory) with Arm processors.

VM.Standard.E2.1.Micro (AMD):

• Processor: 1/8 OCPU, burstable. Memory: 1 GB.
• Networking: 1 VNIC, 1 public IP. Internet: Up to 50 Mbps. Private/DRG/OCI traffic: Up to 480 Mbps.

• Memory: Up to 24 GB (flexible allocation).
• Networking: Bandwidth and VNICs scale with OCPUs.
• Flexibility: Allocate resources for one large or multiple smaller instances.

Compute Instances Allocation:

• Block Storage: 200 GB Always Free for boot volumes (min 47 GB per instance).

Examples:

• 2 VM.Standard.E2.1.Micro + 2 Ampere A1 (2 OCPUs each).

make sure to select the Mumbai region. If you choose a different home region, you might encounter the “Out of capacity shape” error.

Free lifetime VPS from Oracle

Let’s create the instances:

1. VM.Standard.E2.1.Micro (AMD):

• As per the free tier, we will create two VM.Standard.E2.1.Micro (AMD) instances. While creating the instance, ensure the image and shape are configured correctly. Select Ubuntu 24 as the image, always choose the free tier, and use the default VM.Standard.E2.1.Micro shape, as shown in the screenshot below.

• While selecting the boot volume, choose SSD and stick with the default 46.6 GB. Since we are creating 4 VPS and the free tier offers up to 200 GB SSD, it’s best to use the default 46.6 GB per instance.

• Done! You have successfully created two VM.Standard.E2.1.Micro (AMD) instances.
• If you exceed the limit, you’ll see the error below prompting an upgrade. Upgrading will incur charges, so avoid it and always stick to the free tier

2. VM.Standard.A1.Flex (Arm-based):

• In VM.Standard.A1.Flex, you can create one instance with 4 vCPUs, 24 GB RAM, and 100 GB SSD. Alternatively, create two instances with 2 vCPUs, 12 GB RAM each, and 47 GB SSD (default boot). Per the free tier T&C, you get 3,000 OCPU hours and 18,000 GB hours/month, equivalent to 4 vCPUs + 24 GB memory on Arm processors.
• Make sure not to exceed the specified limits. If you choose 6 vCPUs, you will be charged for the additional resources. Stick to the free tier specifications to avoid any extra costs.
• While creating the instance, you can choose the image as Ubuntu 24. For the shape, manually select Ampere and then choose VM.Standard.A1.Flex. If you want to create one VPS, select 4 OCPUs. Alternatively, for two instances, choose 2 OCPUs each.

• While selecting the SSD, manually choose 100 GB if you’re going with one instance and 4 OCPUs. For two instances, stick with the default SSD options.
• Done! You have successfully created VM.Standard.A1.Flex.(ARM) instances.
• You have successfully created 4 instances within the free tier limits. If you need further assistance or have any questions, feel free to reach out to me on Telegram. [https://t.me/cryptonodehindi].

Let’s set the VPS:

• Once you access your VPS, please make sure to update, upgrade, and restart it.
