Networking
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure’s networking service handles the foundational connectivity for your cloud resources, managing data transfers and network architecture. It provides the necessary infrastructure to move traffic between instances and external networks without the overhead of complex setup.
It suits teams prioritizing cost-efficiency in data movement, especially since the service offers an Always Free tier. The main trade-off is that while the base service is free, you still pay for actual data transfer at $0.0085 per GB, so heavy egress can add up quickly.
