Tech Craft Chronicles: How I Finessed 4 Free ARM Babies — Oracle Cloud Hits Different 💸

### **Step-by-Step (Fortune Teller Edition)**

1. **Find the "Lucky Spot"**

*Psst: Seoul/Singapore sold out! Try Jakarta/Mumbai (turtle-speed internet included 🐢)*

2. **Order Your "Cloud Bubble Tea"**

Click **Create Instance** →

☑️ Name: `Free-Rider-1` (get creative!)

☑️ Image: **Ubuntu 22.04 Minimal** (skinny OS = more power!)

☑️ Shape: **Arm Ampere A1** → Slide to **1 CPU + 6GB RAM + 50GB SSD**

☑️ SSH Key: Generate one (*Clueless? Google "ssh-keygen" - 30 sec magic!* → ssh -i pathToKey opc@hostIP)

✅ Click **Create** → Wait 1 min → **BAM! Server alive!**

3. **Xerox Machine Mode**

Repeat Step 2 → Create **Free-Rider-2/3/4**!

*Watch them line up like obedient ducklings* 🐥🐥🐥🐥

⚠️ Golden Rule: Total storage ≤ 200GB (50GB x 4 = perfect!)

### **Pro Survival Tips**

- 🌍 **Cold Regions = More Quota** (Mumbai/Jakarta FTW!)

- ⏰ **Log in weekly** or Oracle will "recycle" your VPS ♻️

- 🚫 **NEVER pick Windows** (ARM says NOPE!)

- 🎮 **Playtime VPS**: SSH → host websites/run bots/docker party!

选对 “风水宝地”
登录后点右上角 “三横”→选 “区域”→认准Phoenix（凤凰城）！新加坡、首尔这些热门地 Arm 配额早被抢光啦～（小声：印尼、孟买也能试试，不过网速可能像蜗牛）
创建实例像点奶茶
点 “创建实例”→
✅名称：随便填（比如 “白嫖一号”）
✅镜像：选Ubuntu 22.04 Minimal（内存占用少，省资源小能手）
✅形状：选Arm Ampere A1→配置拉到1c6g50g, 选 VM.Standard.A1.Flex（免费神器！）
✅密钥：生成一个（不会的话百度 “SSH 密钥生成”，30 秒搞定 → ssh -i 你的密钥文件路径 opc@主机公网IP）
✅点 “创建”，等 1 分钟就开机啦！
四台主机 “批量复制”
重复步骤 2，再创建三台！注意总磁盘别超过 200G（每台 50G 刚好）。最后去 “实例” 页面，四台整整齐齐排排坐，成就感拉满！
