I'm reading the other feedback and I can only thing that you are crazy. It doesn't exist a Free account. AWS offer a Free Trial of 12 months and you can be only fool to not read Terms and Conditions. It's free only up to certain limits. You can set a budget and once you reach that budget you can stop the service. The account is not in hostage! If you don't add correct information (name, credit card, address... ) the account will been hold until you provide the correct info. You cannot scam AWS, if you try soon or later they will know and they will suspend your account.If you want to try AWS you can! Read the AWS Terms&Conditions, ask for support, read the official documents and you will have the best experience. I studied Cloud Compute, I received my certification! I'm honest it's a powerful tool, if you are SMART you can use it and learn a LOT!
