AWS Free Tier
AWS Free Tier is a program offered by Amazon Web Services that provides new customers with free access to a limited set of AWS services for 12 months, along with some services that are always free. It allows developers to experiment, learn, and build applications on AWS without incurring costs, subject to usage limits. The tier includes compute, storage, database, and other cloud services to help users get started with cloud computing.
Developers should use AWS Free Tier when they are new to AWS or cloud computing, as it provides a risk-free environment to learn and test services before committing to paid plans. It is ideal for building proof-of-concept projects, small-scale applications, or for educational purposes, such as preparing for AWS certifications. The free tier helps avoid unexpected costs while gaining hands-on experience with real AWS infrastructure.
