Does Amazon's "free AWS" version cost money if not used after 12 months?!?

3TriangelBy3Triangel

Hello,

I tried it out for testing. Then I recently got an email saying I'd already used up 70% of my free data volume and would have to pay soon. I thought, HUH?! Nothing's really happening!

At least nothing is being used by third parties, but the fact that I have something running there seems to me as a layman (I can't code, but wanted to test it out myself) tells me that costs will arise soon.

So, what do these 12-month "free tier" mean? I need someone to explain and confirm to a non-Amazon user how the free tier works, and whether there are any pitfalls if you carelessly let it continue unused (which seems to be the case). Thanks!

Wikipedia access statistics – How do I track spikes?

Bymarina32123

Wikipedia has access statistics. The daily number of visits to any page is generally very constant. However, if there are exceptions—for example, if the topic of a Wikipedia article suddenly becomes very prominent—this can cause spikes in the access statistics. How can I find out on a daily basis which items are experiencing such spikes?…

Yes, some free offers at AWS only run for 12 months free.

If it’s a personal project, prefer Netcup or Scaleway or Digital Ocean for a VPS, AWS and Co. are expensive than Enterprise Grade.

Thank you. I’m Laie and I just wanted to test it. Can’t find and finish all active services. Would it be enough if I simply cancel and cancel this unused account?

Yeah, I think so. By the way, Scaleway has regular IPv6 VPS in Amsterdam and Paris with unlimited 100 Mbps connection and 1GB RAM for 43 cents a month. However, are difficult to look more frequently into the instances list from availability. Stardust
