Hidden costs

  • Block Volume performance (VPU) is billed separately from raw capacity and charged for the tier selected regardless of actual I/O used
  • Autonomous Database storage billed separately from OCPU/ECPU compute
  • Enhanced OKE clusters add a $0.10/hour control-plane fee (capped at $74.40/month) on top of worker node costs
  • Archive Storage restores take hours and carry a 90-day minimum retention charge if deleted early
  • Object Storage Infrequent Access tier carries a per-GB retrieval fee and minimum retention period
