In fact, the three major overseas cloud providers (Google, Amazon, and Microsoft) all have free tiers. The latter two are time-limited and not very interesting. In addition to a three-month trial of regular-priced machines, Google also offers a permanent free server.</span></span><span leaf=""><span textstyle="" style="letter-spacing: 0.5px;">It comes with 2 cores, 1 GB of memory, 30 GB of disk, and 200 GB of traffic per month. That is still enough to play around with.</span></span></section><section style="margin-bottom: 24px;line-height: 1.6em;"><span leaf=""><span textstyle="" style="font-size: 20px;letter-spacing: 0.5px;color: rgb(0, 128, 255);font-weight: bold;">I. Google Cloud Trial & Free</span></span></section><section style="margin-bottom: 24px;line-height: 1.6em;"><span leaf=""><span textstyle="" style="letter-spacing: 0.5px;">Google Cloud, as the name suggests, is a cloud server made by Google. The current Google Cloud trial is only three months, and the quota seems to be 300 US dollars. If you buy a regular-price machine, it will be used up all at once, so it is better to use a free server.</span></span></section><section style="margin-bottom: 24px;line-height: 1.6em;"><span leaf=""><span textstyle="" style="letter-spacing: 0.5px;">This article does not involve Google Cloud registration and trial use. Anyone with a Google account can register for this thing. It is not difficult. Moreover, I registered it several years ago. I don’t remember the specific details. If you don’t know, you can Google it yourself. Even if the new account is still on trial, it will not affect the trial of the free instance in this article.</span></span></section><section style="margin-bottom: 24px;line-height: 1.6em;"><span leaf=""><span textstyle="" style="letter-spacing: 0.5px;">Mainly Google Cloud’s free servers. Google Cloud has given free quotas to corresponding regions.</span></span><span leaf=""><span textstyle="" style="letter-spacing: 0.5px;">Oregon, Iowa, South Carolina</span></span><span leaf=""><span textstyle="" style="letter-spacing: 0.5px;">e2-micro instance, 2-core CPU + 1g memory + 30g hard disk, with public network IPv4, 200g traffic per month. This traffic is not limited to regions. Some people will say that the picture does not say "1 per month" GB outbound traffic?" Yes, first of all, Google Cloud only counts outbound traffic, not two-way traffic. Secondly, the free 1g traffic in the picture is "advanced tier", not "standard tier" traffic. The advanced tier is a little better than the standard tier network quality, of course, it is only a little better (although it was not before), and the standard tier is global 200g traffic.</span></span></section>
