use a private Chrome or Edge tab (signup is messy, Firefox is supported but buggy)
use any email (will just be used for login)
they don't accept prepaid cards
pick a geographic location, US locations are generally pretty crowded and it could take a while to get free resources. The always free resources will ALWAYS be in the location you pick, so pick wisely. EU Frankfurt is not very crowded - US Ashburn however is super crowded and I have a script slamming oracle every 5 minutes for weeks and I'm unable to get it setup. BE WARNED!
When the free account is setup, we need to switch to pay as you go but then just keep using the free resources
Oracle disables free accounts often so be sure to switch to pay as you go and not always free (they will reserve 100$ / EUR but will release it immediately)
