True or false? You can receive a discount on AWS services without payment if you use them during the free tier period.

The statement is true because AWS offers a free tier period that allows new users to utilize a range of AWS services at no cost for a limited time. During this period, customers can take advantage of various services without incurring charges, as long as they stay within the service limits defined by the free tier. This is designed to enable users to explore and experiment with AWS services without financial commitment, making it possible to receive a discount—effectively a zero cost—during this time.

The other options do not correctly represent the terms of the free tier. The statement regarding short-term projects is misleading since the free tier isn't limited by project duration, but rather by the service usage within specified limits. As for discounts varying by region, the free tier generally provides consistent offerings across regions, making this statement inaccurate as well. Thus, being able to receive a discount (or access free services) during the free tier is a key feature aimed at encouraging experimentation and adoption of cloud services.
