Your AWS account gives you access to all services in AWS on demand. But don't worry – with AWS' pay-as-you-go pricing model, you only pay for the services that you actually use, at industry-leading affordable prices. If this is the first time you are signing up for an AWS account, your account automatically includes 12 months of free tier access. The free tier offers a certain amount of AWS services for free, including compute, storage, database, and API calls. There are even non-expiring free resources after the 12 month free tier period.
