Just FYI Oracle has language that reserves the right to shut down free tier machines that they deem “idle”.
https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/FreeTier/freetier_topic-Always_Free_Resources.htm
You can prevent this by adding a credit card to your account. It “upgrades” your status, and then as long as you stay in the free tier allocations you won’t be charged.
Man I would be so nervous to trust Oracle with my credit card though.
Do https://privacy.com then! Can set it to like $10 limit in case they charge a tiny bit to test the card and you'll never spend more.
They do a $100 test charge IIRC when upgrading to their PAYG (pay-as-you-go) tier. They also don't like virtual/prepaid CCs.
