When you sign up for AWS, you instantly unlock the AWS Free Tier—a gateway to explore a wide range of AWS services at no cost! 🚀

The AWS Free Tier gives you three ways to explore the cloud: Free Trials for short-term testing, 12 Months Free for long-term learning, and Always Free for essential services that never expire.
