Oracle Cloud Always Free Tier ARM network ping

Also see: Oracle Cloud Always Free Tier ARM network speedtest

We tested Oracle Cloud free tier network performance on 2022-01-16 using:

  • Ubuntu 20.04
  • 3 cores, 23 GB memory => listed network bandwidth of 3 Gbps
  • We only tested Frankfurt AD2. In some less systematic tests using speedtest, AD2 performed significantly better in our speed tests
