    Doesn’t like AWS have a credit system (credits run out, no more service)?

    It seems wild to sign up for unlimited cost…

      They do not. If you ask AWS how to set up your account so you only use the free tier they tell you to set up a budget alarm once you’ve reached 0.01$ spending. In which case you’d have to login and turn things off yourself.

      The only “limiting” factor they have is the amount of VMs or databases you can spin up on an account ( which is a limit you can request a raise for within the account and will often probably be auto approved).
