Honestly, if they really cared about devs, they would increase their enterprise support contract prices by 0.01% and have a “solo-dev tier” be free forever…
1 t4, 1 Aurora, 10GB bucket, and a dream…

For students to learn effectively, they need a safe harbor. The most critical offering for learners on AWS is a free or prepaid account tier that completely eliminates the risk of surprise bills, allowing them to focus purely on their education.
If the free forever portion includes a t4g.small, 1 aurora, a 10 GB S3 bucket, that would be perfect.
I am not holding my breath though.
If you rack up a big bill at work you don't get a refund , so the students need to learn finops the hard way too
That’s exactly what would make AWS sticky. A safe harbor for students to learn and build solutions using AWS without a surprise $400-$5000 bill. One experience like that, and you’ll be shopping on Newegg for a closet rack.
Didn’t oracle cloud offer something like that free forever?
Oracle clouds free offerings are very generous. But then your using Oracle.

i could see a $10/month sub being a thing, but free forever... cmon, you know ppl would abuse the hell outta that.
GCP manages to do it, AWS are just greedy and bad at DX
