Hello, please tell me what pitfalls can be after registering a free account?
I want to register an account for myself, test a little, click, see what and how .. No real projects and so on .. I
ask because when registering you need to indicate a credit card (or can I enter fake data?). I don’t want to pay a tidy sum at the end of the month for my experiments and clicks.
Subtracted that free only t2.micro - instances. It’s just that “there’s so much there” that, out of ignorance, you can turn on something that’s not right, but it counts hourly. ))
Thanks for the hints or links where this question has already been raised ..!

The card must be real.
They shoot something symbolic to check a free account.
I have a "free" account.
They charge like $1 a month.
Type to check that the card is alive and real.
You can get a virtual card on Qiwi.
Done in 10 seconds.
You can set limits so that when a certain threshold is exceeded, the server is simply blocked and the money is not debited.

- Tell me, what will it give me? Might be a stupid question, but I've never used this service before. So it will be necessary to transfer money there or? I just have a real card.

- You are talking about the server, and I'm talking about various services, there are dozens of them ..

you read carefully the terms of this free account.
there, only some of the services are provided for free, some come with limits.
that's why money is withdrawn from vjjvr - somewhere he went beyond the free limit or turned on something paid, now he pays.
if you are afraid, do as he advised - create a virtual card, register for it.

Tell me who knows.
I have a stepushka card from the bank. There I created another virtual one for myself. If I register it with AWS, but there is only 1-2 bucks on the card - will I be able to exceed the limits and will I have any debts? How will they knock them out of me if the card is empty?
In general, I don’t rummage about this, I don’t want to make firewood.
Thanks for the reply in advance
