Which of the following resources is NOT part of the Oracle Cloud Always Free eligible resources?

Fast Connect is not included in the Oracle Cloud Always Free eligible resources. The Always Free tier is designed to provide users with a selection of Oracle Cloud services at no cost, allowing them to experiment and learn without incurring expenses. However, Fast Connect, which provides dedicated connectivity between your on-premises data center and Oracle Cloud, is typically considered an advanced service that is not available in the Always Free offerings.

In contrast, Block Volume, Autonomous Database, and Load Balancing are all part of the Always Free resources. Block Volume allows for the creation and management of storage volumes, up to a specified limit, which is ideal for managing application data without incurring costs. Autonomous Database support gives users the ability to run database workloads with some limitations, beneficial for developers and testers. Load Balancing is included to help distribute incoming traffic to multiple instances, ensuring application resilience and performance. These resources are structured to help users build and test applications on the Oracle Cloud without financial commitment.
