What is an Oracle Cloud Free Tier?

The Oracle Cloud Free Tier provides a set of services with free access to specific Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) resources for evaluation purposes. This offering is particularly beneficial for individuals and organizations that want to explore and experiment with Oracle's cloud services without incurring any costs.

The Free Tier allows users to familiarize themselves with the cloud environment, test out various features, and understand how to integrate them into their projects. This initiative is vital for new users, as it encourages hands-on learning and experimentation, which can ultimately lead to informed decisions about adopting Oracle's paid services in the future.

The focus on free access makes this tier distinct from paid subscription services, which typically involve fees for access to a broader range of resources and capabilities. Additionally, it is not limited to existing customers nor does it constitute an enterprise-level package, which would imply a set of comprehensive and high-tier offerings meant for large-scale organizational use.
