What does the AWS Free Tier provide to new users?

The AWS Free Tier is designed to allow new users to explore and get hands-on experience with AWS services without incurring costs initially. This option provides a limited amount of access to specific AWS resources and services free of charge, but it has constraints such as usage limits and a defined period during which the free access is available, often for the first 12 months following account creation.

This approach enables users to learn how to use AWS effectively while understanding the associated costs as they begin to utilize more extensive resources outside of the Free Tier limits. The Free Tier typically includes certain services that are available at no cost within specified parameters, which can help users experiment and build applications without immediate financial commitment.

The other choices do not accurately describe the Free Tier. While the first choice suggests unlimited access, AWS restricts the services and usage to specific limits. The second option implies that credits can be used indefinitely, which is not true as the Free Tier usage is limited to the first year and specific quotas. The fourth choice, about a premium subscription, misrepresents the purpose of the Free Tier, which is to offer a trial rather than a paid subscription model.
