Create An Amazon AWS Free Tier Account

In this article we are going to discuss how to Create An Amazon AWS Free Tier Account. The Free Tier allows users to consume minimal AWS resources free of charge for a period of 1 year. If you consume more than the Free Tier thresholds you are charged at the standard Amazon rates for that service. When the free tier limit is to be expired, Amazon alerts you via email when you are getting close to consuming your Free Tier limits for the month. Please read my previous article Deploy ASP.NET Core Web App in Azure Virtual Machine.
