Thanks @mp3monster , can you point us at the Oracle contact to set up any Fluent accounts as well? cc @agup006 / @edsiper / @niedbalski
We may have to build Oracle-compatible packages/images - ARM is problematic as OCI seems to have Debian defaults for the kernel (e.g. pagesize) but RHEL-compatible packages. There are a few issues in the tracker around this previously. However having the test infra for it now should help.
@patrick-stephens will share contact details as soon as I hear something - waiting on the US
@patrick-stephens - We've been told that while even had hoped all the mechanics would be sorted by the time of the announcement - there is still a bit of admin to be completed over the next couple of weeks. Once done .. "When that's done, the requests will go through LF service desk, as they normally would for any other resource request. Frankly, I think the projects could probably open a request through LF service desk now, and they'd just wait in limbo until the handoff is complete."
It is currently my understanding the approach will be to link tenancies from the projects to a LF tenancy which can cascade the credits
Hi Folks, I think we have done similar things in the past with Packet and Google Cloud, and I am wondering what value we want to bring by including Oracle Cloud; I'm not disturbed about getting free credits but want to understand if investing time in this maintenance is worth it for the project needs.
fair question....
I think there are several threads to the answer, and I'd suggest the benefit maybe more about Oracle Linux than OCI specifically ....

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Oracle has donated $3M of credit for CNCF projects to use - against its Ampere (ARM) cloud services. In addition to this, the always free account allows for 24 CPUs worth of free computing against ARM.
In addition to Oracle's own Linux OCI offers RHEL, Ubuntu, and several other Linux variants which means it might serve the project well for doing shakedown tests
GitHub actions are supported Terraform is the primary manner by which InfraAsCode is built - no need to learn a new IaC syntax.
The following options - a mix of code lead, and UI lead processes can be used to bootstrap the creation of Terraform
