AWS pricing model is rather complicated, a simplifed view is needed to avoid being overcharged by evil Amazon.
AWS will begin the charging directly after 12 months’ free, so stop the services if you don’t use anymore to avoid any charge. The instances are not the cheapest, but the one that could serve as a actual use as a Developer or a small application. All the price are of USD.
