On the topic of their "free accounts", I did personally attempt to go through that process last month and I really don't understand how they have managed to fuck it up so bad.

The basic idea is simple, "give developers free personal resources so they might be inclined to start using your cloud for work related thing". Instead, the "free account" is basically just a guided tour on OCI incompetence before it boots you out onto the street.

On the surface they have given it some thought with setting up the system perfectly with the whole, "if your account is free you can never be charged thing" but they can't seem to stomach people actually using their "free account".
