help Oracle Cloud Infrastructure FAQ

What services are included in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure?

OCI includes compute, virtual networking, Object Storage, databases, Kubernetes Engine, analytics, security, and monitoring services. Oracle's strongest differentiator is its integration with workloads such as Oracle Database and Exadata, but OCI is not limited to database hosting.

Can Oracle Cloud Infrastructure connect to an on-premises data center?

Yes, OCI supports hybrid connections using services such as FastConnect and Site-to-Site VPN. FastConnect is intended for a more direct private connection, while VPN is commonly used when an encrypted internet path is sufficient.

Does OCI have a genuinely free tier?

Oracle offers a time-limited Free Trial as well as Always Free resources that remain free for the life of an account in its home region. Usage outside those limits can create charges, so set budgets and alerts before deploying production resources. [OCI Always Free resources](https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/FreeTier/freetier_topic-Always_Free_Resources.htm)

Is OCI useful if my application does not use Oracle Database?

Yes, a non-Oracle application can use OCI Compute, Object Storage, networking, load balancing, and OKE for containers. The database advantage is most important when an organization already depends on Oracle Database, Exadata, or Autonomous Database.
