Cloud / IaaS
Google's cloud with one small always-free VM, free Cloud Run usage and a 90-day trial credit.
The catch: Only 1 GB of outbound traffic per month is free, and the VM must be in one of three US regions.
Cloud credits
Amazon's cloud gives new accounts credits and a 6-month free plan instead of the old 12-month tier.
The catch: The free plan account closes after 6 months (or when credits are gone) unless you upgrade to a paid plan.
Cloud / IaaS
Microsoft's cloud with a 30-day credit, 12 months of small free VMs and a set of always-free services.
The catch: After 30 days you must switch to pay-as-you-go to keep the 12-month free services, or the account is disabled.
