Always Free Cloud Resources

This repo contains only always free resources from various public clouds. Contributions welcome!

Inspired by cloudcommunity/Cloud-Free-Tier-Comparison

WARNING I do not guarantee for any correctness of this list. It might be outdated (though I will try my best to keep it updated). It might also happen, that you charged for additional cost like traffic, etc.

All constraints (e.g. traffic) are tied to a period of one month.

Additional Guides

You'll also find some hints for gaining and keeping the access to those resources (e.g. by migrating your "trial" account to a paid one).

And if that's not enough, you might also find one or another example on how to use those free resources efficiently and maybe tie them together.
