On deep insight, AWS free tier has three distinct models. Let us review them
Free Tier 1 - Always Free
This section is a baseline level, which is always free for the underlying services. As an example, it is possible to invoke 1 million Lambda invocations for free, also get “up to 3.2 million seconds of compute time” per month. Also, one million free requests per month and 400,000 GB-seconds of compute time per month.
Free Tier 2 - One Year Limit
This free tier is a 12-month period starting the day you first create your account. During this period, roughly 36 services offer you free usage up to certain limits. Few snapshots are:
- 30GB a month of free EBS (disk volume) storage
- 750 hours a month of t2 or t3 micro instance usage
- 1GB of data transfer out to the internet for free each month in perpetuity
- free t2.micro in regions where they’re available
- free 1 Oracle RDS instance but only if you bring your own license
- one free load balancer but it’s only an ELB-classic or an Application Load Balancer
Free Tier 3 - Trials
It is a service specific limited-time trial period that begins from your first use of a service. This applies to any use of the service, by any user in the account.
As an example, on enabling Amazon Detective, it’ll be free for 30 days; then it will be charged.
