After running my Oracle Application Express (APEX) instance (see the previous article on what it takes) for more than a day, I think I have enough to take a first measure of costs and fact check the prices listed by Oracle!
Current Configuration (Recap)
At the moment, I have created the following resources in my Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) trial account:
- A Virtual Cloud Network (VCN) containing one of each:
- Public Subnet
- Route Table
- Internet Gateway
- Security List
- DHCP configuration
- A Compute Instance with shape VM.Standard.E2.1, with the following resources:
- 1 OCPU
- 8 GB Memory
- 46.6 GB Block Storage for Boot Volume
- And of course we have an APEX stack housed comfortably on this server!
NOTE: OCI's OCPU is equivalent to 2 vCPUs, a unit often used by other cloud hosting providers.
