Has anyone noticed that oracle keeps changing the idle requirements for compute instances?

I just checked their docs:

  • CPU utilization for the 95th percentile is less than 20%
  • Network utilization is less than 20%
  • Memory utilization is less than 20% (applies to A1 shapes only)

In May it was 15% and in March it was 10%.

Is there anyway I can keep my compute instance without having them keep reclaiming it?

I've tried a few others but Oracle was the only one that kinda worked for me. I'm open to switching to other providers if you have any suggestions. @SheeEttin@lemmy.world @thesmokingman@programming.dev

What about Oracle made it work for you over others? Have you looked at the minors like Linode or DigitalOcean?

Difficult to beat a free offer

You can get free offers from most places. If you juggle accounts and don’t do a ton, you can use AWS for free perpetually without dealing with this odd idle fandango.
