Compute Pricing

* Notes:

• * 1 OCPU on Arm A1 CPU Architecture = 1 core on A1 or 1 vCPU
• ** 1 OCPU on Arm A2 CPU Architecture = 2 cores on A2 or 2vCPUs
• 1 OCPU on x86 CPU Architecture (AMD and Intel) = 2 vCPUs
• 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, E5, X9, and A1 instances support resource-based pricing. The OCPU and the memory resources are priced separately, and customers need to purchase the Memory SKU along with the OCPU SKU. The memory to OCPU ratio for VM instances can range from 1 GB per OCPU to 64 GB per 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, E5, X9, and A1 SKUs support resource-based pricing. The OCPU and the memory resources are priced separately, and customers 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.
• * There is limited hardware availability for general release and customers should contact their Oracle sales representative for additional details.

* Note: OCPUs and cloud storage consumption are charged independently.

* 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.

*Each NVIDIA A100 node has eight 2-100 Gb/sec NVIDIA ConnectX SmartNICs connected through OCI’s high-performance cluster network blocks, resulting in 1,600 Gb/sec of bandwidth between nodes.

**The server price per hour is calculated by multiplying the GPU price per hour by the number of GPUs.

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.
