Nowadays, we prefer mainstream service providers to choose ECS as much as possible, such as Alibaba Cloud, Tencent Cloud, Baidu Cloud, Google Cloud, Amazon Cloud and other mainstream Internet companies have launched their own cloud service products. Moreover, the cloud products provided by these cloud service providers are relatively complete, which can basically meet our personal and enterprise business applications. We only need to meet most of the cloud business needs in one cloud service provider. Mr. Zuo also mentioned that Amazon Cloud provides free cloud service products for new customers, both individuals and enterprises. There are more than 100 free experience services, ranging from several months to one year, and even permanent free service packages.
In the previous articles, we have also compared the free cloud experience qualification provided by Amazon Cloud to that of other cloud service providers. In this article, Lao Zuo also collates and looks at Amazon cloud service products, which are worthy of our daily use. It is unrealistic to sort out all the more than 100 cloud products one by one, so I will sort out 10 cloud products that I think are more useful.
Note: Amazon Cloud International Edition supports individual and enterprise registration. If it is a domestic version, it only supports enterprise registration certification. Here, we are sorting out the free cloud products and services provided by Amazon Cloud International.

EC2 ECS has the qualification to provide free experience for up to 12 months, which is of course limited by the configuration (1-core 1G package). There is no extra charge for the free package option. If we need to pay for subsequent upgrades, we need to extend the upgrade package.

Suitable for basic business purposes.
5. CloudFront CDN Service

Therefore, the memory distribution CDN service is generally used. Here, Amazon Cloud also provides CloudFront CDN service, which provides a permanent free 1TB service for each account user. If your business volume is not large, you can use the free amount. If there are more than resources used, you need to pay additional fees to purchase paid traffic packets.
