Should I buy AWS or Oracle Cloud for a budget compute project?

Oracle Cloud — the Always Free Arm compute is genuinely free long-term. AWS free tier expires, after which EC2 billing begins.

Can I migrate from AWS to Oracle Cloud?

Yes — Oracle provides migration tools and consultants, and OCI supports standard Linux/container workloads. Database migration is simplest when moving Oracle DB workloads.

Does Oracle Cloud have GPU instances?

Yes — OCI offers NVIDIA A10, A100, and H100 GPU instances, often priced more competitively than AWS equivalents.
