The free tier is not just for ramen-eating students. Sometimes asking the boss for a budget line, no matter how small, means triggering a series of questions and meetings that demand explanations.

The free account grants access to over 30 always-free services, whereas paid accounts can utilize all AWS services, with further details available on the AWS Free Tier page.

Fortunately, the AWS Free Tier comes into effect the moment you create an account. If you have never used an AWS product before, you are automatically eligible for Free Tier.
