Well, for hobby purposes I terraformed a completely free cluster on OCI today. It's a "toy" of course, but k3s + OCI "Always free" tier includes Oracle Heatwave mysql which k3s can use in place of etcd. I'm deploying 2x (2 CPU / 12GB mem) VMs to run workloads. Also get an internal load balancer so nodes can find each other an external network load balancer for Traefik. It's quite usable.

Huh... 2x(2CPU/12GB) for free is pretty good!! I'm paying $40/mo for 2vCPU & 4GB 1-node cluster on DigitalOcean.

I might have to look more into that... not very keen on Oracle though.
