Sure, I can provide you with a detailed explanation of the answer to this question.

Oracle Cloud offers an Always Free tier that provides users with access to a range of cloud services and resources without incurring any charges. These resources are designed to allow users to experiment, learn, and develop in the cloud, without worrying about costs.

The four options listed in the question are all eligible resources that users can provision in their tenancy as part of the Always Free tier. However, the question asks which option is NOT part of the Always Free tier. Therefore, the correct answer is option D: Fast Connect (1 Gbps public peering).

Fast Connect is a service that provides users with dedicated and private connectivity between their on-premises network and their virtual cloud network (VCN) in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. It allows users to establish a high-bandwidth, low-latency connection that can improve the performance and security of their cloud applications.

While Fast Connect is a valuable service, it is not part of the Always Free tier. Users who want to use Fast Connect must pay for the service based on their usage. Therefore, option D is the correct answer to this question.

In contrast, options A, B, and C are all part of the Always Free tier:

A. Block Volume (up to 100 GB total storage): Block Volume is a high-performance, durable block storage service that can be used to store data for use with compute instances. With the Always Free tier, users can provision up to 100 GB of block volume storage for free.

B. Autonomous Database (up to two database instances): Autonomous Database is a fully managed database service that can be used to store and manage data. With the Always Free tier, users can provision up to two Autonomous Database instances for free.

C. Load Balancing (one load balancer): Load Balancing is a service that can be used to distribute incoming network traffic across multiple compute instances. With the Always Free tier, users can provision one load balancer for free.

I hope this explanation helps you understand the answer to the question!
