Launch your first OCI compute instance with capacity retry logic. Use when creating a new compute instance, testing OCI connectivity, or hitting "Out of host capacity" errors on Always Free ARM shapes. Trigger with "oraclecloud hello world", "launch oci instance", "oci compute example", "out of capacity oci".

# Oracle Cloud Hello World
## Overview
Launch, list, and manage your first OCI compute instance. The most common blocker for new OCI users is the `Out of host capacity` error when launching Always Free ARM shapes (VM.Standard.A1.Flex). This error means the data center has no available hosts — it is **not** a permissions issue. The solution is a retry loop that polls until capacity becomes available.
**Purpose:** Get a running compute instance on OCI, including the capacity retry pattern that makes Always Free ARM shapes actually usable.
## Prerequisites
- **Completed `oraclecloud-install-auth`** — valid `~/.oci/config` with API key authentication
- **Python 3.8+** with `pip install oci` installed
- A **subnet OCID** in your tenancy (VCN > Subnets in the Console, or use the default VCN)
- An **image OCID** for your region (Compute > Custom Images, or list platform images via API)
- An **SSH public key** at `~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub` (for instance access)
