The free tier page lists t4g.small instance(2C2G) in the free tier. Got it confirmed from the support! Free for 12 months!

    They surely will cost you an arm and a leg if you exceed that 50GB of traffic.

    Term "free" means you are free tester of their beta service.

    Not free for 12 months: https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/faqs/

    Q: At the end of the free trial, how will customers be billed for t4g.small instances?

    Starting January 1, 2024, customers running on t4g.small instances will be automatically switched from the free trial plan to the On-Demand pricing plan

    I specifically asked for this with support, the representative said it's for 12months.

    100GB*, and it's more than enough for sites with low to medium traffic.

    I consistently run out of traffic on my 5€/y box with 150GB Traffic.
    Depending on how fucked up the network setup from the VPS provider is, you may burn 2-5GB just for some random package spam.

    It isn't that much.

    They also gave me coordinates to the end of the rainbow so I can find the pot of gold.

    Just because a CSR gives you information does not mean its always 100% accurate.

    If you check that page in web.archive.org, you will know what has actually happened.

    Oh by the way, AWS is charging for IPv4 address, so...

    I always ended up paying something for the AWS "free" stuff. In the context of Amazon, "free" should always be in double quotes.

    You need to play smart with AWS. Always check daily, setup alarms. In my case, AWS emails me if 85% of free tier is consumed so I am always known ahead of time when to pull out.

    So nobody lost a kidney so far. This is quite unexpected and most peculiar with AWS.
