+
+## Concepts
+
+### Compartments
+
+Compartments are tenancy-wide and extend across regions. They can also be nested to create hierarchies up to 6 levels deep.
+
+After creating a compartment, you need to write at least one policy for it; until then, no one can access it except administrators or users who have permissions set at the tenancy level. When creating sub-compartments, they inherit access permissions from compartments higher up their hierarchy.
+
+Before deleting a compartment, all its resources must have been moved, deleted or terminated, including any policies attached to the compartment itself.

+# Oracle free tier Ampere VM
+
+Simple example to create an Ampere VM instance in Oracle Cloud's free tier.
+
+1. [Requirements](#requirements)
+2. [Further readings](#further-readings)
+3. [Sources](#sources)
+
+## Requirements
+
+1. VCN
+1. Public Subnet
+
+For a Subnet to be considered Public, it needs to have associated a Route Table with a default route pointing to an Internet Gateway.
+
+The default route table created using Terraform does not contain this route, nor it is possible to create the single route in it at the time of writing.<br />
+A solution to this is to create a new Route Table **with** the default route above and attach it to the Subnet. See the code for details.
