Worth knowing
Home-region capacity is not guaranteed. Oracle may reclaim VMs idle for 7 days under its CPU/network utilization tests (plus memory on Arm); accounts idle 30+ days may be suspended. Continuous execution is possible, not guaranteed retention. Boot disks count toward 200 GB. Excludes the separate $300/30-day trial; commercial-use terms not verified.
