Specification notes
- Curated flexible-shape configuration of 1 OCPU and 4 GB memory; the official compute-shapes documentation establishes 2 vCPU per OCPU and Arm architecture for VM.Standard.A4.Flex.
- Processor model, allocation guarantees, sockets, GPU, and local storage remain unknown because the collected sources do not establish them as structured facts for this configuration.
- Network: up to 1 Gbps. Oracle's compute-shapes documentation states "Max Network Bandwidth" for VM.Standard.A4.Flex as 1 Gbps per OCPU, maximum 100 Gbps; this configuration has 1 OCPU. Oracle bases it on expected bandwidth for traffic within a VCN.
