A startup is launching a pilot project on AWS and wants to utilize the AWS Free Tier to minimize initial operating expenses. Which of the following AWS services offer 'Always Free' benefits that do not expire at the end of the initial $12$ -month AWS Free Tier period? (Select TWO.)

Amazon DynamoDB (up to $25\text{ GB}$ of storage)Answer
AWS Lambda (up to $1\text{ million}$ free requests per month)Answer
C
Amazon EC2 (up to $750$ hours per month of $t2.micro$ or $t3.micro$ instances)
D
Amazon S3 (up to $5\text{ GB}$ of Standard storage)
E
Amazon SageMaker (up to $250$ hours per month of $t3.medium$ notebook usage)

Answer

Amazon DynamoDB and AWS Lambda both offer 'Always Free' tiers that do not expire after the first

12

months of the AWS account's creation.

Amazon DynamoDB and AWS Lambda are both part of the 'Always Free' tier of AWS, which means their free usage limits (

25\text{ GB}

storage for DynamoDB and

1\text{ million}

requests for Lambda) do not expire after the first

12

months and remain available indefinitely.

Step-by-Step Solution

Identify the service free tier categories.

Amazon DynamoDB and AWS Lambda fall under the 'Always Free' category. Amazon EC2 and Amazon S3 are '12-Month Free' offers. Amazon SageMaker is a short-term 'Trial'.

Different AWS services have different Free Tier classifications (Always Free, 12-Month Free, and Short-term Trials).

Filter for services that do not expire after

12

months.

Amazon DynamoDB (

25\text{ GB}

storage) and AWS Lambda (

1\text{ million}

requests) remain free indefinitely, whereas Amazon EC2 and Amazon S3 free tiers expire after

12

months, and Amazon SageMaker is a short-term trial.

Only 'Always Free' offers persist past the initial

12

months of account creation.

Key Concept

AWS Free Tier offers are categorized into three types: Always Free, 12-Month Free, and Trials. 'Always Free' offers do not expire and are available to all AWS customers.
