I tested the free service of AWS, MS Azure and Google Cloud. I must say AWS is the best one: the tiny free server instance is perfectly usable, decently fast and quite easy to configure and run.Anyway, two things disappointed me:1 - opaque costs: you cannot really understand what is free and what is not, and what will cost each additional service and function, without reading huge papers full of hardly understandable options and configurations. You just discover the cost when you are billed, at the end of the month.2 - when I decided to buy a yearly subscription, I was not able doing it. According to EU laws, nobody can take money from your account without asking for a 2 phase authorization, which must be completed by few minutes from the moment of the request. Amazon was not able to satisfy this procedure, requiring me to just transmit my credit card number. Successive attempts to access to my bank account were rejected by the bank; Amazon customer service told me that it was a bank fault, my bank that it was Amazon fault, because they were not following EU procedures.... after spending some days at the phone with both customer services, which were accusing each other, I decided to give up.
