I tried oracle cloud for a similar reason and it was quite bad in several fronts:

-their cloud console interface in general was bad

- the technology is pretty rudimentary: after spinning up some ec2 instances and attaching some volumes, I needed to enter some strange custom commands in the terminal to make them useful (aside of the standard partitioning and mounting)

- their cost explaining docs were worse than Amazon IMO.

- for some reason they started spamming me with Portuguese mail (maybe because my last name looks like Portuguese?)

- Somehow I cancelled my admin account but not some inner account so for some time i couldn't login but still had some volumes that were being charged... I couldn't delete them.

- I tried to spin up one of their ready made wordpress instances but it wasn't working. I've since forgotten what was the issue but at the time I found it hilarious.

Overall I wouldn't touch it for stuff related to work. Had very bad experience with them .
