Look at leveraging Oracle CLoud - free credits - just needs some Terraform

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
Oracle has donated $3M of credit for CNCF projects to use - against its Ampere (ARM) cloud services. In addition to this, the always free account allows for 24 CPUs worth of free computing against ARM.

In addition to Oracle's own Linux OCI offers RHEL, Ubuntu, and several other Linux variants which means it might serve the project well for doing shakedown tests

GitHub actions are supported
Terraform is the primary manner by which InfraAsCode is built - no need to learn a new IaC syntax.

The following options - a mix of code lead, and UI lead processes can be used to bootstrap the creation of Terraform

1. once logged in - the is an option on the dashboard to create the compartments, VCNs, and subnets for you - meaning you only then need to create the VMs and select the networks to attach them to.
2. https://starter.wedoteam.io/ - provides a selection-based webUI approach which will then generate Terraform. This is completely decoupled from OCI. So the produced TF could be manipulated as necessary
3. create everything manually using the OCI UI, then use the resource manager to generate the TF for subsequent operations
4. the Oracle Architecture center has a lot of prebuild options and defined/recommended strategies - https://docs.oracle.com/solutions/ these can be copied and adapted
5. The architecture center is backed by several GitHub repos which are full of TF samples and modules providing additional abstractions https://github.com/oracle-devrel
