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

How doc gen treats nulls values?

You have to be more specific. Are your referring to the pre-built Document Generator function?

If so:

When my query return null in some columns

What is the JSON that is generated?

You should always include the element in the JSON, with an empty value. Don't leave it out.

Since September 2024, when a tag has no corresponding value in the JSON data or the value is null, the tag is replaced by an empty string.

See the September Release Notes
