Container Instances Pricing
OCI Container Instances offers cost-effective pricing based on actual infrastructure usage. Container instances are billed at the same rate as OCI Compute instances for the selected shape, with no extra fees. Charges are applied for partial OCPU and memory hours, billed by the second with a one-minute minimum. Each instance includes 15 GB of ephemeral storage at no extra cost. Plus, you get a bonus of 3,000 OCPU hours and 18,000 GB hours of Free Tier usage with the Ampere A1 Flex shape.
