description Oracle Cloud Static IPs Overview

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) offers a very generous 'Always Free' tier that includes static IP addresses for your compute instances. OCI is built on the same infrastructure as Oracle Database and provides high-performance networking. It is an excellent choice for users who want enterprise-grade cloud features and stable IPs at little to no cost, provided you can navigate their somewhat complex signup process.

help Oracle Cloud Static IPs FAQ

What are Oracle Cloud Static IPs?

They are public IP addresses reserved for resources in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, or OCI. A reserved address can remain stable when a compute instance is stopped, restarted, or replaced within the relevant network setup.

Can I use a static IP with an OCI compute instance?

Yes, OCI supports reserving and assigning a public IP to a compute instance's virtual network interface. This is useful when a website, VPN, or API must be reached at a stable address.

Are Oracle Cloud static IPs part of the Always Free tier?

OCI has an Always Free offering that includes selected compute and networking resources, and the product description presents static IP use as part of that low-cost setup. Check the current OCI pricing page before relying on a free allocation because Oracle can change service limits and billing rules.

Why would a server need an Oracle Cloud static IP?

A fixed address avoids changing DNS or firewall rules every time a cloud instance changes. It is especially useful for a small web server, remote access service, or API that other systems must reach consistently.
