Oracle is all fun and games until they lose your instance’s IP or data and don’t give it back because you’re a free tier freeloader.
thats why you make backups and update the dns records 😎
I do enough of this in the day job. I don’t have time to mess around with free hosting to save $20 a month.
Amen.
true, i host services on my own infrastructure so i dont have to worry about that but for some people the free tier is worth the hassle :)
That sounds like the bitter expression of regret and experience.
I got a bunch of servers on OCI, but I'd never rely on it heavily without a backup plan or lack of attachment
