alt Hacker NewsThey give you 4 nodes with 1 vcpu and 6GB RAM each for free forever by the way. Most other stuff has a free tier too.
I used it to learn terraform and have a kubernetes cluster running.
I know it's always trendy to bash oracle and simp for AWS, but it is THE best option for learning and hobbyists.

That's very cool. I was going to get a hetzner for some hobby projects.
Can you get that without adding a payment mechanism? For some reason, I'd be more cautious about putting my card into Oracle's offering than anyone else.
You can also get all of that in a single node, which makes for a fairly beefy build server :)
Uh, you can get that level of compute locally easy peasy.
Learning terraform isn't hard, it's what you stitch together with terraform that is hard.
On a sofware salary, would rather pay the 20 something to a provider like hetzner instead of giving my personal info to oracle
