That's not true. They still allow you to run 4VCPU and 24G RAM. Its only available with their OCI Ampere A1 Compute instances
`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.
OCI Ampere A1 Compute instances (Arm processor): All tenancies get the first 3,000 OCPU hours and 18,000 GB hours per month for free for VM instances using the VM.Standard.A1.Flex shape, which has an Arm processor. For Always Free tenancies, this is equivalent to 4 OCPUs and 24 GB of memory.`
thanks for sharing, Harendra. Useful. For all wondering how to get it - select the right image and set the OCPU and Memory appropriate enough so that it keeps running the whole month. Harendra is suggesting 4VCPU and 24GB RAM because Oracle Cloud offers 3000 OCPU and 18000 GB Hours (do the math for one month and you will get the numbers.). I just created one with 4vCPU and 25GB memory.
Edit the Shape > Shape Series > Select "Ampere" > VM.Standard.A1.Flex
I just created an instance and we are far from 24 GB RAM, 4 CPUs.
Nowadays the most we can get is 1G of RAM with 2 VCPU.
Not a bad review, just to let readers know

But now it's limited. I always get the message "out of capacity" when I create the instance.
Same here..
Thanks, I got the instance for free with 24GB but how did you get the 200GB boot disk for free
Hi can you please help me I am riya and I am pursuing my btech please help me to create this .
Same issue for me...
In always free :
VM.Standard.E2.1.MicroAlways Free-eligible 1CPU 1GB
VM.Standard.A1.FlexAlways Free-eligible 1CPU 6 GB --------------- not even selectable
informative
FAKE review. The only FREE machine is 1G of RAM with 2 VCPU. The one with 4 CPU / 24 GB RAM costs 96 euro / month.
This is not fake; it is still working for me and many others
https://postimg.cc/6TF9bBtn only the 1G of RAM with 1 VCPU is free. the rest are paid.
Same here - the free instance is 1 vCPU and 1GB and 0.48 Gps. Waste of time signing up.
You have to select the correct shape https://i.imgur.com/Cl9ZFf1.png

Edit the Shape > Shape Series > Select "Ampere" > VM.Standard.A1.Flex
then change the configuration.
Does it still work?
