I have the same reaction. 4 vCPU + 24GB for free, WTF? I wonder what that's costing them.



Plus 10TB of outbound bandwidth.

Yep, I switched and got a buddy over to them as well. As far as what it's costing them, cloud hosting is a high margin business and it gets them on the map I suppose. I'm hesitant to do actual business with Oracle, but if they provide competent commodity cloud hosting for cheaper than the other guys, why not?
