Cloud Price List

To make it easier to compare pricing across cloud service providers, Oracle web pages show both vCPU (virtual CPUs) prices and OCPU (Oracle CPU) prices for products with compute-based pricing. The products themselves, provisioning in the portal, billing, etc. continue to use OCPU (Oracle CPU) units. OCPUs represent physical CPU cores. Most CPU architectures, including x86, execute two threads per physical core, so 1 OCPU is the equivalent of 2 vCPUs for x86-based compute. The per-hour OCPU rate customers are billed at is therefore twice the vCPU price since they receive two vCPUs of compute power for each OCPU, unless it's a sub-core instance such as preemptible instances. Additional details supporting the difference between OCPU vs. vCPU can be accessed here.

*Notes:

• 1 OCPU on x86 CPU Architecture (AMD and Intel) = 2 vCPUs
• 1 OCPU on Arm CPU Architecture (Ampere) = 1 vCPU
• The minimum unit of provisioning starts from 1 OCPU on both X86 (Intel and AMD) and Arm (Ampere) processors.
• All compute instances use boot volumes as their system disk. Additional storage and boot volumes are billed at the standard block volumes service pricing. Note, that this is in addition to the price of the compute instance.
• E3, E4, X9, A1 SKUs will support resource-based pricing. The OCPU and the memory resources are priced separately and customers will need to purchase the Memory SKU along with the OCPU SKU. The memory to OCPU ratio for VM Instances can range from 1GB/OCPU upto 64 GB/OCPU.
• Unused Capacity reservations are priced at 85% of the price of regular instances. This discount is applied in addition to other discounts, such as UCM negotiated rates.
• Preemptible instances are priced at 50% of the price of regular instances. This discount is applied in addition to other discounts, such as UCM negotiated rates. See the product documentation for supported shapes.

*Notes:

• You can find upgrade options for previous shapes including BM.HighIO on the Compute FAQ page.
• The first 3K OCPU-hrs and the first 18K GB-hrs each month is free for Ampere A1 shape.
• All compute instances use boot volumes as their system disk. Additional storage and boot volumes are billed at the standard block volumes service pricing. Note, that this is in addition to the price of the compute instance.
• E3, E4, X9, A1 SKUs will support resource-based pricing. The OCPU and the memory resources are priced separately and customers will need to purchase the Memory SKU along with the OCPU SKU. The OCPU and memory resources are fixed for Bare Metal Instances.
• Unused Capacity reservations are priced at 85% of the price of regular instances. This discount is applied in addition to other discounts, such as UCM negotiated rates.

*Notes:

• Minimum of 312 vCPUs (156 OCPUs) each month.
• Hourly commit requires a minimum of 8 hours
• Cancelling service prior to the end of the commitment interval does not stop metering.

*Notes:

• Available soon
• Unused Capacity reservations are priced at 85% of the price of regular instances. This discount is applied in addition to other discounts, such as UCM negotiated rates.

Note: Images and Artifacts in existence prior to May 26th, 2021 are exempt from charging.

*Oracle Linux Premier Support included. With the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel (UEK), part of Oracle Linux, customers can take advantage of Ksplice zero-downtime updates.

**Windows Server license cost is an add-on to the underlying compute instance price. You will pay for the compute instance cost and Windows license cost separately. You can get more information on how Microsoft Windows Server charges apply from the Compute FAQ page.

*Notes:

• Previous generation instances are in use by some current customers but are no longer available for new deployments.
• Unused Capacity reservations are priced at 85% of the price of regular instances. This discount is applied in addition to other discounts, such as UCM negotiated rates.

A request is defined as one round-trip interaction: a request to the Digital Assistant and a response from that Digital Assistant. There is a minimum consumption rate of 250 requests per hour for each instance.

Note: Pricing shown does not include fees the network provider or data center provider may charge for connectivity. For more details please refer to the "Billing and Pricing" section of the FastConnect FAQ.

Note: VPN Connect is a free service with no port hour charges. Data transfer cost is covered under networking cloud pricing.

*Customer is responsible for purchasing hard disk drives and paying for shipping data to and from Oracle Data Transfer Site.

** For data export, Outbound Data Transfer Networking charges apply.
