@stuartjordan Nice!

When I followed your link I noticed they have a whole range of free services:

That's a lot of useful things for free.

Just a heads up on this. If you select their Ampere Arm processor you can have 4CPU with 24gb ram for free as well. VM has boot of 50GB but you can addon block storage for free up to 200GB I believe.

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
