Understanding OCI Pricing
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) offers a robust suite of cloud services with a transparent and often competitive pricing model. Unlike some other cloud providers, OCI typically charges per OCPU (Oracle CPU) and per GB of memory for compute instances, rather than fixed instance types, offering greater flexibility with "Flex" shapes. Storage is usually priced per GB per month, and data transfer (egress) is charged per GB after a certain free tier.
Compute Instance Pricing
Compute instances, such as Virtual Machines (VMs), are a core component of most cloud deployments. OCI's pricing for compute is primarily based on:
OCPUs: The number of Oracle Compute Units you provision. An OCPU provides CPU capacity equivalent to one physical core of an Intel Xeon processor with hyperthreading enabled, or one physical core of an AMD EPYC processor.
Memory (GB): The amount of RAM allocated to your instance.
Region: Pricing can vary significantly between OCI regions due to local market conditions, infrastructure costs, and operational expenses.
Usage Duration: Typically charged hourly. For always-on services, this translates to approximately 744 hours per month.
The calculator allows you to specify the number of OCPUs, memory, and the expected hours of usage per month to estimate your compute costs.
Block Storage Pricing
Block Storage volumes provide persistent, high-performance storage for your compute instances. Key factors influencing its cost include:
Storage Size (GB): The total capacity of the block volume you provision.
Performance Tier: OCI offers different performance tiers (e.g., Balanced, Higher Performance) which dictate the IOPS (Input/Output Operations Per Second) and throughput. Higher performance tiers typically come with a higher cost per GB. This is often reflected in VPU/GB (Volume Performance Units per GB).
Region: Similar to compute, storage costs can vary by region.
Our calculator lets you input the desired storage size and select a performance tier to estimate monthly storage expenses.
Data Egress Pricing
Data Egress refers to data transferred out of the OCI network to the internet or other regions. This is a common charge across all cloud providers. OCI typically offers a generous free tier for data egress, but once that limit is exceeded, you are charged per GB. The cost per GB can also vary by region.
The calculator includes a field for estimated data egress in GB per month, allowing you to account for these transfer costs.
How to Use the OCI Pricing Calculator:
Select OCI Region: Choose the region where you plan to deploy your resources.
Configure Compute Instance:
Enter the desired number of OCPUs for your virtual machine.
Specify the amount of Memory (in GB) for your VM.
Input the estimated hours per month your instance will be running (e.g., 744 for 24/7 operation).
Configure Block Storage:
Enter the total Block Storage size in GB.
Select the desired performance tier (Balanced or Higher Performance).
Estimate Data Egress:
Enter the estimated amount of data (in GB) that will be transferred out of OCI to the internet each month, after any free tier limits.
Calculate: Click the "Calculate Monthly Cost" button to see a breakdown and total estimated monthly cost.
Example Scenario:
Let's say you want to run a web server in the US East (Ashburn) region with the following specifications:
