Yesterday, Oracle announced a new range of Arm compute instances based on Ampere’s ARM processors
This is a very nice announcement ![1], [2] and something also very cool is that you are eligible for an Always Free instance up to 4 OCPUs, 24GB of RAM and 4Gbps network bandwidth !!
This is the max you can have and you define it during the shape selection:
I have already updated all the Stacks I propose to support Flex Shapes and of course the Ampere ones:
When you select a Flex Shape you will be invited to also fill the OCPUs and Memory you want to deploy:
Enjoy deploying your application on OCI and for the database, no worry, relax and trust MDS !
If you don’t have yet an OCI account and would to receive $300 credits to use with MySQL Database Service: https://www.oracle.com/cloud/free

[…] The “problem” was that my system was already setup and I used OL7 on the always free Ampere compute instance on OCI. […]
Hi
I attempted this on the always free OCI tenancy – but failed at the point of the NAT gateway creation — Is this usable (or meant to be usable) with the free tier ?
I don’t belief the NAT gateway is a free (available) construction under the always free tier.
Interested in your reply — thanks
I was using the Internet Gateway, not the NAT one
Hi
Thanks for the reply – this really deals with the terraform (stack job) this attempts to execute- it attempts to create NAT gateway
But always free – doesn’t include that .
Additionally even a MySQL DB cannot be created.
Hence my question is this really – is for an always free after the 30 days free with $300 has elapsed?
MySQL managed service is not part of the always free offer. Only the compute instance is.
[…] This time we will see the easiest way to deploy WordPress on OCI using an always free tier. We will deploy WordPress and MySQL Community Server 8.0 on an Ampere compute instance. […]
