Oracle 雲端免費資源(Cloud Always Free)

Oracle Cloud 相較於 Google Cloud Platform(GCP) 除了同樣提供免費運算資源外，機房區域多了東京可以選擇，對於亞太區傳輸延遲顯得更有優勢。另外 Oracle Cloud 登入強制啟用 2FA(Oracle Mobile Authenticator) 認證！

The Home Region(家鄉區)

When you sign up for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, Oracle creates a tenancy for you in one region. This is your home region. Your home region is where your IAM resources are defined. Your home region contains your account information and identity resources.It is not changeable after your tenancy is provisioned. (區域列表)

Always Free Resources

All Oracle Cloud Infrastructure accounts (whether free or paid) have a set of resources that are free of charge in the home region of the tenancy, for the life of the account. These resources display the Always Free label in the Console (for Ampere A1 Compute shapes, see Compute). (圖例)

Compute(免費運算節點只能在家鄉區建立！)

All tenancies get a set of Always Free resources in the Compute service for creating compute virtual machine (VM) instances. You must create the Always Free compute instances in your home region.

• Micro instances (AMD processor): All tenancies get up to two Always Free VM instances using the VM.Standard.E2.1.Micro shape, which has an AMD processor.(節點規格, 流量計價)
• Ampere A1 Compute instances (Arm processor): All tenancies get the first 3,000 OCPU hours and 18,000 GB hours per month for free for VM instances using the VM.Standard.A1.Flex shape, which has an Arm processor.

Idle Compute Instances(閒置的節點會被收回)
Idle Always Free compute instances may be reclaimed by Oracle. Oracle will deem virtual machine and bare metal compute instances as idle if, during a 7-day period, the following are true:

• CPU utilization for the 95th percentile is less than 20%
• Network utilization is less than 20%
• Memory utilization is less than 20% (applies to A1 shapes only)

在 Virtualbox 跑 Fortigate VM

 1. 先到 Fortinet Download/VM Images (需登入)

2. 防火牆(FortiGate)原廠未提供 Vbox 格式，在此選 FGT KVM 然後手動轉檔，像是：

• FGT_VM64_KVM-v6.M-build2093-FORTINET.out.kvm.zip
• FGT_VM64_KVM-v7.4.0.F-build2360-FORTINET.out.kvm.zip

3. 透過 qemu 工具轉檔成 .vdi 格式

• qemu-img.exe convert -O vdi fortios.qcow2 fortios.vdi

4. 在 VirtualBox 開一台新機器(Linux 64bit)掛載 vdi 成功進入基礎環境，功能待測。

※如果是要跑 FortiWeb(WAF) 可以省去轉檔過程，網站直接有提供 VirtualBox 格式映像檔。

組7K家用文書機：Celeron G6900 華碩 PRIME H610M-K D4-CSM

原先擺在家裡的電腦用很久(2016/06)，最近主機板偵測不到 SATA 或無法開機索性整台換了。看一下故障週期，好像6年是個大關，雖然CPU、硬碟還有電源供應器都是好的。

這年頭組台電腦不容易，零件變的很貴。低階CPU缺料沒有Pentium款；然後入門款 Core i3 把處理器跟顯示晶片拆開來賣，在AMD陣營這邊也是一樣！最後退一萬步...條件篩完只剩Celeron能選！

•  Intel Celeron G6900 , $1970
• 華碩 PRIME H610M-K D4-CSM , $2290
• 美光 Crucial P3 NVMe SSD 500G , $1150 (測速)
• 金士頓 8GB DDR4-3200 , $499
• 視博通 小至尊 , $890
• 全漢 聖武士350W , $1090

Total = $7889 | 硬體參數
