This post covers how to get Compute Classic Services on your free Oracle Cloud Account. If you are new to the cloud, then I would suggest you check our previous blog on Cloud Service Model (SaaS, PaaS, IaaS)
Note: OCI (Compute )is part of IaaS Service model (other 2 Cloud Service models are SaaS & PaaS), where OCI is re-branding of Bare Metal Cloud Service (BMCS).
Another offering in IaaS from Oracle is OCI-Classic (or OCI-C) and to find the difference between two and when to use what, Check our previous post on OCI vs OCI-C here
Things Good To Know About Compute Classic
Compute Classic is an Infrastructure-as-a-Service (OCI-C) solution that provides on-demand, scalable compute resources—virtual machines with the required networking and storage resources—in the public cloud.
Compute Classic if of two types compute Classic & Dedicated Compute
- Dedicated Compute Classic: With this offering, you get a compute environment (called a site) that’s isolated at the hardware level. Your virtual machines (called instances) run on hardware that’s dedicated to you. You enjoy complete network isolation from other tenants. You can choose Oracle’s enterprise grade x86 servers.
- Compute Classic: In this offering, which is priced lower than Dedicated Compute Classic, your instances run on hardware that’s shared with other tenants.
As of December 2018 Oracle has removed Compute Classic services from EMEA & North America Region, to know more which services in which region in Oracle Cloud Check Here
Note: While creating Oracle free cloud account as of Dec 2018 you can only select only one of two regions North America and EMEA , wherein you can later subscribe other regions from console
