I was there and it was amazing!

WeDo Internet of Things demo

More than 2000 attendees, tenths of speakers from areas like Languages, DevOps, Front-end, IoT, Microservices, AI/Machine Learning, Kubernetes, and many more.

I have been several times at Codemotion Madrid from the beginning of the conference’s history. I have my own collection of Codemotion T-shirts and as you can see I am proud of it.

Although, this time was different. I was a sponsor for Oracle Cloud. The conference was on perfect timing as Oracle Open World 2019 (OOW’19) just wrapped up in San Francisco. OOW is an important moment of the year for Oracle. A continuous flow of announcements that drives the year.

Good news for you and for me. A new Free Tier was announced and that change everything. My team is here to help when you create an Oracle Cloud trial. We support users with different backgrounds to build their systems. Users just like you.

Free Tier is a combination of two free resources:

Always Free

Always Free is always available and it doesn’t expire. No surprises after one year. No surprises at all.

This is what you have available for you:
- 2 small Oracle Autonomous Databases.
- 2 small Compute Virtual Machines (1/8 OCPU and 1 GB memory each).
- 2 x 50GB/month Block Volumes for boot volumes of the Compute VMs.
- 1 small Load Balancer.
- 10GB/month Object Storage.
- 10GB/month Archive Storage.
- 10TB/month Outbound Data Transfer.
- Monitoring: up to 500m ingestion and 1b retrieval datapoint
- Notification: up to 1m HTTPS deliveries and 1k email deliveries (each month)

Always free, available to create your proof of concepts anytime you want.

$300 Trial

On top of Always Free, Oracle Cloud offers access to all the IaaS and PaaS services. You will not compete for resources like in other Cloud providers. Resources like CPUs are assigned to you and only for you to use. No surprises with performance. You pay for what you get.

Oracle wants to give you the opportunity to try the full potential of the Cloud so there is extendable 30 days period in the trial, so we can assign unused resources for you to try and build your proof of concepts and tests.

An impressive fully-managed Kubernetes platform, Blockchain, just to mention a few.

Autonomous Databases that scale up and down on CPU and Storage in real-time with zero downtime. These databases create indexes and optimize themselves using machine learning technology and apply security patches without stopping.

Busy Oracle Cloud stand

Wait, there is more!

Autonomous Linux is the next generation of Oracle Linux distribution that using Kspice apply security patches with zero downtime. It upgrades kernel libraries on memory by comparing the source code of the changes. Wow!

Codemotion welcome

It will simplify the upgrades and also tuning of your environments reducing repetitive tasks and free you to do something higher level.

Try it now

The next generation of autonomous cloud services is at your doorstep!

More than 150 attendees signed for a Free Tier at Codemotion. If you are not one of those, don’t hesitate and sign-up now.
