At Oracle’s OpenWorld 2019, Oracle announced an Oracle Cloud Free Tier, which includes Oracle Cloud services that will always be free – as long as you use them or keep them active.
Most other hyperscale cloud vendors offer a free 12-month trial before they start charging you, so to see Oracle provide a “truly free” service is really great. And the free services are not just limited to one or two choices – you get a wide variety of free services to choose from. As of this blog post, here is a brief summary of free services (these are subject to change in the future):
Databases – Your choice of Autonomous Transaction Processing or Autonomous Data Warehouse. 2 databases total, each with 1 OCPU and 20 GB storage.
Storage – 2 Block Volumes, 100 GB total. 10 GB Object Storage. 10 GB Archive Storage.
Compute – 2 virtual machines with 1/8 OCPU and 1 GB memory each.
Additional Services – Load Balancer, 1 instance, 10 Mbps bandwidth. Monitoring, 500 million ingestion datapoints, 1 billion retrieval datapoints. Notifications, 1 million delivery options per month, 1,000 emails sent per month. Outbound Data Transfer, 10 TB per month.
For this post, I am going to show you how to create an Oracle Cloud Compute Instance (virtual machine) and install the MySQL Community Edition and MySQL Enterprise Edition (license required) of MySQL on it. Installation is a fairly simple process but there are a few things to note. If you follow these steps, you should be able to have a free cloud instance up and running with MySQL installed in less than a half-hour.
Creating your free Oracle Cloud instance
First, you need to go to Oracle’s Cloud Free Tier website, and register. Yes, this requires that you give them your email address and a method of payment, but you won’t be charged as long as you choose the Oracle Cloud free-tier products. I am not going to go through all of the steps to register your account, but it is fairly easy. Here are a few things to note:
When selecting your home region, be sure that the services you want to use are located in this region. This link will show you the available regions for the “Always Free Cloud Services”. (A region is a localized geographic area.)
After you have registered, you will be taken to the login page and then you will need to enter your email address and password. After a successful login, you will be directed to the dashboard page. At the top of the page, you should see a note that states something like this – “You are in a free trial. When your trial is over, your account will be limited to Always Free resources. Upgrade at any time.” If you are part of a free trial period, this period is for a set amount of money and for a limited time. In other words, if your free trial amount is $300 and one month of services, your free trial for normal (not free) services will expire after you have consumed $300 worth of services or after 30-days. So, you aren’t limited in your initial trial to only using the “Always Free Eligible” services. And, the “Always Free” services will continue to work after the trial period – these services are “always free”.
Note: Some of the images and words on the Oracle Cloud web page might change over time.
|
Note: As you are creating your instances, be sure that you only select options that have the “Always Free Eligible” banner.

Creating your compute instance
You are now ready to create your first Compute instance (Virtual Machine). Click on the “Create a VM instance” box.
Notice the “Always Free Eligible” banner at the top right of the box.
On the “Create Compute Instance” page, the first box allows you to name your instance. If you don’t want to keep the auto-generated instance name, you should change it here. (I am going to keep the default instance name.)
The default operating system or image source is Oracle Linux.
If you don’t want to use Oracle Linux, click on the “Change Image Source” button, and you will see a selection of available operating systems to use. Note that not all images are part of the free version.
Next, click on the “Show Shape, Network and Storage Options” to expand this selection.
The first option is to choose your Availability Domain, but the free option should already be selected. Do not change this option. An Availability Domain is one or more data centers located within a region.
Your Instance Type should be chosen for you, as a Virtual Machine is the only free option.
Your Instance Shape should also be chosen for you. The free Instance Shape version is VM.Standard.E2.1.Micro (Virtual Machine) with 1 Core OCPU and 1 GB Memory.
Under Configure Networking, you can change the virtual cloud network name if you want. I left mine as the default auto-generated name. Important – You will want to select “Assign a public IP address” to be able to connect to this instance from outside of the Oracle Cloud. If you choose “Do not assign a public IP address”, you won’t have a way to connect to this instance unless you connect through another instance from within Oracle Cloud.
You are allocated 100 gigabytes of free storage under the free tier. So, under Boot Volume, you can accept the default size of 46.6 GB, or click “Custom boot volume size (in GB) and enter a smaller or larger number. I am going with the default size. Note: You are limited to two free virtual machines per account under the “Always Free” option.
If you are going to connect to instances using Oracle Linux, CentOS or Ubuntu, you will need to create an SSH key pair. This is very simple to do.
Here is one example of how to create the SSH key pair. You might have to search for how to do it for your particular operating system. The file “id_rsa.pub” is what you will need to upload. You will need to place this file in the $HOME/.ssh directory of the computer you will use to access this compute instance. You can also share this file with others who will want to access this instance.
# ssh-keygen -t rsa
Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/var/root/.ssh/id_rsa):
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
Enter same passphrase again:
Your identification has been saved in /var/root/.ssh/id_rsa.
Your public key has been saved in /var/root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.
The key fingerprint is:
SHA256:od/ZPR2IcW+ml5mcWFa3ojK9c0eeTqsW9eH8T9AQzEI root@Hackintosh.local
The key's randomart image is:
+---[RSA 2048]----+
| .Eo. |
| . o. |
| . . o. o|
| . . + o=+|
| . S . o=O+|
| . ..o.oX*B|
| .ooo.o*O=|
| o..oo*o|
| .+.+oo|
+----[SHA256]-----+
After you have created the key, you will want to drag-and-drop the SSH key file (it should be named id_rsa.pub) onto the “Drop files here” box. Or you can click “Choose Files” and navigate the window to the location of your SSH key file.
For this demo, I am not going to address any of the advanced options, so I will skip this part:
Finally, you need to click on the “Create” button to create your instance.
You should be directed to the Work Requests page under the Instance Details page, where you will see all of the information about your instance as it is being created.
Towards the bottom, you will see the progress of the instance creation:
It only took a couple of minutes for my instance to be created. The instance page should refresh automatically, but you can manually refresh it. Once the instance has been created, you should see something like this.
Under the Primary VNIC Information, you will see your Public IP Address. You will need this to be able to connect to the instance via SSH.
Now that my instance has been created and is running, I can connect to the Oracle Cloud Compute Instance via a terminal window. I have already placed my SSH key file in the .ssh directory under my $HOME directory.
$ pwd
/Users/tonydarnell
$ ls -l .ssh/*pub
-rw-------@ 1 tonydarnell staff 403 Sep 12 10:58 .ssh/id_rsa.pub
I can connect using SSH and with the user named “opc“. You will probably get a warning about the authenticity of the host, but you can just answer “yes”.
$ ssh opc@150.136.199.99
The authenticity of host '150.136.199.99 (150.136.199.99)' can't be established.
ECDSA key fingerprint is SHA256:9ZE+AFYo7luYoBFZhJZ0YS/W6QdQPPJOP9xItnY17+c.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
Warning: Permanently added '150.136.199.99' (ECDSA) to the list of known hosts.
I am now connected to my Oracle Cloud Compute Instance. I can check to see which OS version I am running:
$ cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.7 (Maipo)
Installing the MySQL RPM packages via yum
I can now install MySQL but I have to be careful – as MariaDB is the default version of MySQL installed on Oracle Linux (even though MariaDB isn’t the same as MySQL). If you try to run the regular yum install command (sudo yum install mysql), you will see that it tries to install MariaDB:
Note: Be sure to type “N” at the end of this process when asked “Is this ok” so you don’t install MariaDB.
$ sudo yum install mysql

To install a real version of MySQL, you will need to download the release package for your platform. (Full instructions may be found at https://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql-repo-excerpt/8.0/en/linux-installation-yum-repo.html)
Go to the Download MySQL Yum Repository page (https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/repo/yum/) in the MySQL Developer Zone.
Select and download the release package for your platform. You should see something like this on the Yum download page.
Since I am installing on Oracle Linux 7, I will want to download the RPM package for “Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 / Oracle Linux 7 (Architecture Independent) RPM Package“. Downloading this package requires an Oracle account, so you can register for one if you don’t already have one.
I will now need to copy the package over to the Oracle Cloud instance I created. I can easily do this via SFTP. You will want to set up your FTP client with the user name of opc and you will also need to use the id_rsa.pub file to connect. I am on a Mac, and I use CyberDuck, so this is what my SFTP settings look like:
I created a directory in my $HOME directory and named it mysql-install-files. I placed the RPM package in this directory. You can place the files wherever you want.
[opc@instance-20191113-1544 ~]$ pwd
/home/opc
[opc@instance-20191113-1544 ~]$ ls -l

-rw-rw-r--. 1 opc opc 26024 Nov 14 15:32 mysql80-community-release-el7-3.noarch.rpm
I can now install the downloaded release package. If you chose a different operating system, you will want to replace the platform-and-version-specific-package-name with the name of the downloaded RPM package. And, you will want to refer to the instructions for installing MySQL for your specific OS version.
