The Oracle cloud is available to anyone and comes with $300 of credit: https://cloud.oracle.com/home

Ignore the comments and just try it. Run an instance for a weekend, try to setup a site or install a DB and see how it goes. I think you'll learn very quickly why the reputation exists.

The pricing seems... really weird. Many very different offerings are priced exactly the same. E.g.

VM.Standard.1.1 and VM.Standard1.16, same cost but the latter has 16 cores instead of 1 (same CPU), 112 GB memory instead of 7.

The pricing is per OCPU (Oracle CPU core) per hour. 16 cores = 16x the listed price for a single core. But yes, the table is a perfect example of how bad everything is.

If you ever think you understand the price of anything Oracle, take it as a signal that you are wrong.
