Step 1: Create Your Oracle Cloud Account
Oracle Cloud gives you a free server that runs 24/7. No credit card charge — just a quick identity check.
Open the sign-up page and create a free account:
Open Oracle Cloud Sign-Up →Credit/debit card: They'll ask for a card to verify your identity. Oracle may place a small temporary hold (~1€) on your card — this is not a real charge and will be refunded within 3-5 days.
Home Region: When asked to pick a region, choose one with availability (you saw this on the previous screen).
After signing up:
Oracle will send your Cloud Account Name to your email. You'll need this name to sign in later. Check your inbox (and spam folder) if you don't see it.
Set up two-factor login (Oracle requires this):
You need a free app on your phone called Google Authenticator:
When Oracle asks you to set up verification:
- Click Mobile App
- Click Offline Mode or Use Another Authenticator App
- Open Google Authenticator on your phone and scan the QR code
- Type the 6-digit code from the app into Oracle's page
From now on, every time you sign in, just open the app and type the current code.

Common issues:
- Page won't load: Try a different browser (Chrome works best), or open an incognito/private window.
- Card rejected: Try a different card. Some prepaid or virtual cards don't work. A regular bank card usually works.
- "Unable to create account": Try a Gmail or Outlook email address. If it still fails, wait 24 hours and try again.
Still can't sign up? Oracle sometimes has capacity issues. Try again in a day or two.
Step 1: Create Your Google Cloud Account
Google Cloud gives you a free server that runs 24/7. You'll need a credit card for verification but you won't be charged.
Open the Google Cloud console:
Open Google Cloud Console →Credit/debit card: Google requires a billing account to use the free tier. You won't be charged for the free server. New accounts also get $300 in free credits for 90 days.
Google account: You can use your existing Gmail account to sign in.
Set up billing (required for free tier):
- In the Google Cloud Console, click the navigation menu (three lines, top-left)
- Click Billing
- Click Link a billing account
- If you don't have a billing account yet, click the Create button to create one
- Follow the steps to add your card
If a billing setup form appears automatically when you open the Console, you can skip it — just close or dismiss it and follow the steps above instead.
The e2-micro server is always free in US regions. You will not be charged.
Enable the Compute Engine API:
- In the Console, click the navigation menu → APIs & Services → Library
- Search for Compute Engine API
- Click it, then click Enable
Find your Project ID:
In the Google Cloud Console, click the project selector dropdown at the top of the page (right next to the Google Cloud logo). A list of your projects will appear — the ID column shows your Project ID (it looks like my-project-123456). You'll need this in a later step.
Want to remove everything and start over?
Oracle can delete everything it created with a single click.
To delete everything:

You can delete everything from Google Cloud Shell.

- Open Cloud Shell in the Google Cloud Console

cd ~/zeroclaw-deploy && terraform destroy -auto-approve - Wait for it to finish — everything will be deleted
