Time flies. It's the end of the year again!
I have been running the EC2 t4g.small instance since 2022 to take advantage of the free trial, which has since been extended twice to December 31, 2024. Yesterday, I went to check the official website of the EC2 T4g Instances to confirm the end date of the trial in preparation for purchasing a savings plan. To my surprise, they have changed the trial end year to 2025! How generous!
Free Trial: Try Amazon EC2 t4g.small instances powered by AWS Graviton2 processors free for up to 750 hours / month until Dec 31st 2025. Refer to the FAQ for additional details.
The best part of this free trial is that, all existing and new customers can take advantage of it, and it is available in addition to free tiers.
There we go. A Christmas present from AWS again.
Who is eligible for the free trial?
As mentioned in the FAQ, all existing and new customers are eligible. However, if you have signed up for consolidated billing, you will have access to one free trial per Organization.
How to join the free trial?
It's as easy as spinning up a t4g.small instance. The bill will take care of itself. It will appear as a $0 item under On-Demand pricing.
