Comment on How to Run Custom Linux Images on Oracle Free Tier
starkzarn@infosec.pub 1 day agoCertainly! As others have said, don’t hang anything worth value on it without an out of band backup strategy, they’re famous for unscrupulously deleting things with no warning. Oracle is a miserable company.
Free is free though!

I haven’t had my instances deleted, but they do some kind of maintenance blip everyday that my monitoring sees as 3 seconds of downtime, so maybe keep that that in mind.

Interesting. I’ve had two instances running for over 2 years and haven’t noticed that. It might be that I just don’t notice it though. I’m not scrutinizing it much.

Same. I just run a Minecraft server for my kid and his friends and a static HTML blog, so I’m ok with it.
I’m fairly sure it’s a background migration task, and I have a feeling it depends on your region.
