Compute Instance - 2 should be Always Free ?

Jim DicksonJun 29 2024

I (now) pay for all my Compute Instances - But 2 should be free

https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/FreeTier/freetier_topic-Always_Free_Resources.htm

  • Micro instances (AMD processor): All tenancies get up to two Always Free VM instances using the VM.Standard.E2.1.Micro shape, which has an AMD processor.

However when I create a new Compute Instance, the only Shape options (for Oracle Linux) are :

VM.Standard.E5.Flex

VM.Standard.E4.Flex

NB I used to get 2 free compute instances, so something changed.

not sure if relevant, but will run Oracle Linux image.

Can anyone explain why the VM.Standard.E2.1.Micro shape is not an option ?

Suspect I missing something obvious

if this is a bug, happy to log SR - but not sure if its Technical Services Request, Non-Technical SR, End Customer Technical SR etc
