Best Cloud Platforms Offering Free Trials for Cloud Mastery

Cloud computing never disappeared. It has and will always be there. But have we forgotten about it? I think not. This is why we need to maximise what these Cloud providers have offered for free. That is to have a sandbox environment to test not only our knowledge on these services but also perform our own benchmark.

You cannot automate what you don’t know. Or atleast you haven’t done it manually.

This is why basic knowledge in cloud services is still a must. We suggest to get familiar on atleast Compute instances, Networking and Storage. Free tiers usually cover these features out of the box. At the minimum, you can instantiate a new server and access it.


Partner with aster.cloud
for your next big idea.
Let us know here.



From our partners:

CITI.IO :: Business. Institutions. Society. Global Political Economy.
CYBERPOGO.COM :: For the Arts, Sciences, and Technology.
DADAHACKS.COM :: Parenting For The Rest Of Us.
ZEDISTA.COM :: Entertainment. Sports. Culture. Escape.
TAKUMAKU.COM :: For The Hearth And Home.
ASTER.CLOUD :: From The Cloud And Beyond.
LIWAIWAI.COM :: Intelligence, Inside and Outside.
GLOBALCLOUDPLATFORMS.COM :: For The World's Computing Needs.
FIREGULAMAN.COM :: For The Fire In The Belly Of The Coder.
ASTERCASTER.COM :: Supra Astra. Beyond The Stars.
BARTDAY.COM :: Prosperity For Everyone.

Take note that cloud services that offer free trial allow you to use their services but there is a minimum requirement. You should have a credit card that is acceptable by their platform. This is a mechanism in place by these services to assure them that any extra services you use that is not part of the free tier or exceed the credits will be billed to your credit card. So take note of this condition.

There are also some services that will always be free even after the free tier has elapsed or the credits have been consumed. Some services can also have a free usage limit, meaning a service is free until you go pass the set limit. This could be something like a storage that is free if you consume 5GB or less per month.
