Autonomous Database is a multimodel database for virtually any type of data (including relational, JSON, spatial, graph, multimedia, XML, files, and more), any workload (transactional, data warehouse, and analytics), and any interface (full SQL, REST data access, and language drivers). The service includes free development tools such as SQL Developer IDE, Oracle Application Express (APEX) for low-code app creation, Oracle REST Data Services, and powerful command-line utilities. To keep building even when you are disconnected from Oracle Cloud, you can mix Always Free Oracle Autonomous Database with a compatible always-free version of <a href="/database/technologies/appdev/xe.html">Oracle Database</a> that runs on your laptop (see Oracle Database XE).</p> </div> </li> <li> <div class="cb105w3">What can I do with Always Free Oracle Cloud Infrastructure?</div> <div class="cb105w2"> <p>With Always Free Oracle Cloud Infrastructure services, you get the essentials you need to build and test applications in the cloud. This includes two compute instances, NVMe SSD-powered block storage, high-bandwidth object storage, archive storage, and load balancing, all on our enterprise-grade virtual networks. These resources enable you to prototype two-tier high availability applications, test server cloning and other advanced storage features, or build basic data pipelines with object storage, as just a few examples. Coupling with Always Free Autonomous Database or our Free Tier gives you even more options. Our cloud infrastructure includes rich APIs, SDKs for Java, Python, Ruby, and Go, and cool plug-ins for Jenkins, Packer, and Grafana. And you can automate it all with Terraform.</p> </div> </li> <li> <div class="cb105w3">I need more instances or larger sizes of Always Free services. What should I do?</div> <div class="cb105w2"> <p>If your cloud account is in Free Trial period or has paid status, you can directly upgrade an Always Free resource to a paid resource to get more processing power, data storage, and network bandwidth. If your account has finished Free Trial without upgrading to paid status, you can continue using Always Free resources but you cannot upgrade Always Free resources to paid resources until the account is first upgraded to paid status.</p> <p>You may upgrade an account to paid status at any time from the Account Management area in Oracle Cloud Console. You will be able to choose between Pay As You Go or Monthly Flex plans. Alternatively, you may contact Oracle Sales for assistance. See <a target="_blank" href="/cloud/costestimator.html">cloud cost estimator</a> for details.</p> <p>In addition, you may spend free credits during a Free Trial period to create more instances or larger instances than allowed for Always Free. Note that paid instances created during a trial period will be reclaimed when the Free Trial ends, whereas Always Free resources will continue to be available even after the Free Trial period.</p> </div> </li> <li> <div class="cb105w3">What is the advantage of moving to Pay As You Go accounts after the trial?</div> <div class="cb105w2"> <p>You have access to customer support to open tickets and troubleshoot account issues. Pay As You Go accounts are subject to different capacity limits than Always Free accounts. As you move from development and testing to production scenarios, you may need to use resources outside of Always Free limits. You will have access to the latest portfolio of OCI services, such as artificial intelligence, and you only pay for what you use.</p> </div> </li> <li> <div class="cb105w3">How do I know how much I am going be charged for Pay As You Go services?</div> <div class="cb105w2"> <p>You will only be charged for services that you use that exceeds Always Free. You can find information about costs in the <a href="https://www.oracle.com/cloud/price-list/" data-lbl="oracle-cloud-price-list">Oracle Cloud Price List</a> and the <a href="https://www.oracle.com/cloud/costestimator.html" data-lbl="oracle-cloud-cost-estimator">Oracle cloud cost estimator</a>.</p> </div> </li> <li> <div class="cb105w3">I just signed up and I can’t access specific services.

Eligible resources are designated Always Free when they are created. After you provision an Always Free resource, the Always Free status is not transferable to another resource. However, you can delete an existing Always Free resource in order to create a new Always Free resource in its place.</p> </div> </li> <li> <div class="cb105w3">My resources no longer appear. How can I restore them?</div> <div class="cb105w2"> <p>If you have a Free Tier account and your resources no longer appear, it’s likely that your Free Trial has expired and your paid resources have been reclaimed (terminated). You can verify if this is the case by doing the following: <br /> Log in to the Console<br /> Check for a banner at the top of the Console with the following text: “You are using a Free Tier account. To access all services and resources, upgrade to a paid account.”</p> <p>If you see this message, your resources have been reclaimed and can’t be restored.</p> </div> </li> <li> <div class="cb105w3">I get an “out of host capacity” error when I try to create an Always Free Compute instance.

Your resources will continue to exist for a few days, allowing you to upgrade your account and keep your resources before they're reclaimed by Oracle. If you do not upgrade to paid by the end of the grace period, your Free Trial service instances and data will be deleted. (Note that reclaimed resources can’t be recovered—they are permanently deleted.)</p> <p>Resources identified as Always Free will not be reclaimed. After your Free Trial expires, you'll continue to be able to use and manage your existing Always Free resources, and can create new Always Free resources according to tenancy limits.</p> <p>However, if you have more Ampere A1 Compute instances provisioned than are available for an Always Free tenancy, all existing Ampere A1 instances are disabled and then deleted after 30 days, unless you upgrade to a paid account. To continue using your existing Arm-based instances as an Always Free user, before your trial ends, ensure that your total use of OCPUs and memory across all the Ampere A1 Compute instances in your tenancy is within the Always Free limit.</p> </div> </li> <li> <div class="cb105w3">If I upgrade, do I keep my Free Trial credit balance?</div> <div class="cb105w2"> <p>Yes, if you upgrade during the Free Trial period, you won’t be billed until you've reached the end of your 30-day trial or used all of your Free Trial credits (whichever comes first).
