AWS Knowledge Center Videos: What is the AWS Free Tier, and how do I use it.
What is the significance of the AWS Free Tier? The AWS Free Tier allows customers to test and use AWS services without charge up to specific usage limits for each service. The Free Tier is made up of three different kinds of deals, a 12-month Free Tier, an Always Free plan, and short-term trials.
It’s not at all the same. The AWS Free Tier is comparable to a table saw in that it’s free. You’ll almost certainly lose a hand if you go into an AWS service unprepared expecting not to be charged.
It is advisable to establish a total monthly cost budget for each AWS account you use. Each month, the Free Tier of AWS Budgets has a limit of 62 budget days. Because the name implies, using AWS Free Tier-eligible services is free.
The AWS Free Tier is a one-year commitment of free usage for new AWS customers. Any resources or services that aren’t covered by the Free Tier are charged at standard rates. To prevent any extra fees, be sure to understand what services and resources are included under the AWS Free Tier.
