The AWS Free Tier is a common source of confusion for any new AWS user. Much of this has to do with misconceptions as to what's included, or most importantly, not included. In this video, I break down the three categories of the free tier including the Free Trial, 12 months free, and always free. I explain what each are, including some common pitfalls AWS users typically run in to on their first couple of months in the AWS Cloud. I then provide resources / tips that can help you take charge of your AWS account and protect yourself from a surprise bill.

Good concise video. What I notice is missing from AWS services, is a "STOP" service option when it service exceeds a cost threshold. Example, Stop a service once it reaches $25, etc. I understand there is trade off, and a business website could shut down, thus AWS would rather deal with billing issues than angry CEOs who wants to know why AWS shut down their services for 24hours costing the company huges amount of money.

@@abhisheksagar8886You can ensure you don't accidentally incur excess charges. For Google cloud I "deleted" my kubernetes clusters then stopped using the platform. I ended up no longer receiving budget notifications/alerts so I assumed nothing was still running, but there was apparently a load balancer I created and associated with my cluster that was charging me $2.25 a day. I'd rather switch cloud providers than pay for something I didn't actually use (I guess I technically did use it, but w/e).

Why do free trials not just expire? Surely that's the whole point of a trial - use the service, then terminates after trial period.

So they can trap people into unexpected costs, duh.

- Sign up for AWS: Ensure to thoroughly understand the AWS free tier to avoid unexpected charges. - Understand Free Tier Categories: Get familiar with the 3 categories of the AWS free tier - Free Trial, 12 Months Free, and Always Free. - Verify Service Configurations: Double-check the settings and configurations of AWS services to prevent accidental usage beyond the free tier limits. - Utilize Monitoring Tools: Take advantage of tools like AWS Free Tier Monitor to keep track of your usage and avoid exceeding thresholds. - Set Budget Alerts: Set up budget notifications on AWS to receive alerts if costs exceed specified thresholds, ensuring proactive cost management. - Monitor AWS Emails: Never ignore emails from AWS regarding your account activity and charges, as they provide essential information to prevent unexpected bills.

I'm not sure if you're aware but your audio has really high bass. It sounds fine on small speakers (laptop/mobile) but on large speakers the bass is just too high that the words are too hard to understand.

Some time ago, suddenly, I started receiving emails from the three alerts I had set on my account. When I opened the console, I had a $6000 bill. After one or two days, those bills went to $0 without explanation, lol.

What about separate debt card with 50$ account balance? If your bank can't pay AWS 'extra charge' than the AWS can only hold services.

in simple words, amazon makes this hard to understand on purpose so that they can charge you.

Key Takeaways of Free Tier: Three types come under the free tier: 1. (Free Trial:) - Only free for a certain period, like 1 or 2 months, depending on the service. - Will be charged at standard rates in both conditions, first if the trial period ends and second, if the monthly limit exceeds, even if it's the first month, no matter what. 2. (12 Months Free:) - Free for 12 months duration with 750 hours of usage per month. - Example: If you use an EC2 t2.micro instance running 24/7, it will cover approximately 750 hours in a 30-day month. If you launch multiple instances or run instances beyond the 750-hour limit in any given month, you will be charged for the additional hours at the standard rates. 3. (Always Free:) - Offers certain levels of service usage free of charge indefinitely, useful for ongoing small-scale use. - It also has monthly limits but can be used for free forever if the usage is below the limit; otherwise, it will also charge at standard rates depending on the service.
