Are you excited to learn more about “Always Free Services” from Oracle Cloud Infrastructure? Come, let’s discuss these efficient and amazing free services to Oracle Cloud Free Tier that are available for a lifetime in detail.
Now the developers can deploy their project at different levels with the newly added 11 free services. This “Always free services” assistance took off in September 2019. We started with a bunch of services like Storage, Autonomous Database, and Compute.
As other cloud services are offering these free services for just 12-months or till the available period, Oracle is offering these free services for unlimited time.
The recently launched “Always Free Services” includes,
- Ampere A1 Compute
- NoSQL
- Autonomous JSON Database
- Logging
- APEX Application Development
- Service Connector Hub
- Application Performance Monitoring (APM)
- Flexible Load Balancer
- Oracle Security Zones & Oracle Security Advisor
- VPN Connect V2
- OCI Bastion
These services will always be handy to any developer or operator. Using these free services, you can know more about the capabilities of the OCI. As a developer, it is always better to get a primitive OCI. These free services will ease your accessibility towards the primitive OCI.
Let’s discuss more on the 11 new free services in detail,
- Compute: We all know how the latest Arm architecture handles the heavy workload more efficiently than other processors. Hence, Oracle launched the Ampere A1 Compute to support Arm Architectures.
From now onwards no need to stick to those mere “hello world” testing. You can establish your testing and developing skills with new apps freely.
- Autonomous JSON Database: Any operator can run two different databases for different works using the Always free Database resources. The Always free Autonomous JSON Database works just like the paid version.
You can reap all the benefits of the Paid version JSON database. It is helpful to work on all the JSON- centric applications and workloads.
- NoSQL: This cloud service will help the developers in easing their process in deploying an application. The NoSQL Database Cloud service provides 133M reads and writes per month and three 25 GB capacity tables. Even popular apps like airbus also use the NoSQL database cloud services.
- Application Development Services: Every newbie app developer will find this Always free service Oracle APEX application development service very helpful. Even professional developers can amp up their low code practice on this service for free.
You can create a data-driven app 38 times quicker than coding. Three to six users can use the service at once without any interruption.
- Logging: This service will provide you 10GB storage per month as an always-free service. This service will create access to OCI and use the logs in Oracle cloud infrastructure.
- Service Connector Hub: This will help you to transfer your data between the clouds. The data transfer is not limited to the OCI clouds; you can also transfer the data with other clouds. You don’t need to use any other extra applications to access the data from the service connector hub. This will surely diversify your data accessibility.
- Application Performance Monitoring (APM): This service lets the developers know the true end-user experience. This Application Performance monitor can have a tracing system that helps in tracking the user experience through the architecture. DevOps can schedule a synthetic monitor to avert any issues and improve the accessibility of the application for users with fewer issues.
- Flexible load balancer: Don’t limit yourself with limited bandwidth. Always free, the flexible load balancer will provide a wide bandwidth where you can choose between 10Mbps based on your workloads and cost management. If yours is a paid service, you can utilize the bandwidth of up to 8,000Mbps, giving high accessibility to increased traffic.
