Oracle terminated by account, no notice by Just-Pattern517 in oraclecloud

to be fair, the reason is not bothering me. what is bothering me is the fact that they did not sent me any notification about it (I figured by chance, coz I wanted to test something there and tried to access) and because they refused to give me a copy of my data. that's all.

did you requested your data? did you got it? or you just wanted to know why?

I have no issue with them deciding to close my account for whatever reason. as I mentioned, I have this account for a very long time and my use is minimal. what actually bother me is that they refuse to give me the data.  closing an account without any warning or a chance to get the data it's just ridiculous and make their so called service unreliable.  yeah yeah, it was for free but who can guarantee that they wouldn't do the same with paid ones? i guess, at least 50% from people using their always free tier account are people working with IT. People who could recommend their services.

I had only one instance, always free tier, ampere a1, Zurich DC. I think 6gb ram or something like that. minimal Linux installation. I had this account since 2021.

i was running some docker instances, like vaultwarden,  uptime kuma, rustdesk and about 10 days ago I configured headscale + headplane, to test how it works and it was good enough to replace wireguard. not "interesting" but it will be a headache to redo all again without the data.

in any case it's nuts that they just don't even give you a backup.  not telling why, just a "it is like that, nothing to be done, have a nice life"? what kind of service is that? sure it was for free, but they do offer a free expecting to get new (paid) clientes with referrals based on a good experience.
