TLDR consider them as fully fledged server CPUs because they are. The hardest part is the signup process: - https://people.freebsd.org/~dch/posts/2021-06-02-oci-signup.html It's a standard arm64 CPUs from Ampere (hw.model: ARM Neoverse-N1 r3p1) and quite capable of running anything. I run DBs (PostgreSQL, CouchDB), DNS services & Phoenix web apps off them, all in jails ofc. The free tier gives 4 CPU cores (no hyperthreading garbage!), 24GiB RAM, and IIRC up to 200GiB storage. That's plenty. Here's an OCI ampere doing `openssl speed` (single threaded) but very non-scientific as the ampere is running 14.0-RELEASE, and Ten64 is ofc running CURRENT DEBUG + witness. Ampere: (14.0-RELEASE GENERIC) type 16 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 = bytes 16384 bytes sha256 77675.94k 280389.41k 774386.13k 1396836.35k 18295= 90.81k 1871025.49k Ten64: (15-CURRENT DEBUG) type 16 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 = bytes 16384 bytes sha256 13622.39k 50566.72k 166540.20k 387515.05k 6412= 43.92k 665962.87k If you want to test something let me know.
