AWS services explained in one line each

I started using my new account yesterday.

I already got a surprise, because in one place it says t2.micro and t3.micro instances are free for twelve months.

But, if the instance runs Windows, or the zone is this or that, or something else I don't know, the only free tier instance is actually the t2.micro.

And then there's the Unlimited option, and CPU credits, where if your CPU use goes over 25% for some time, it will either: Be throttled so slow as to be useless, or, not being free and you still have to pay for each hour of use.

And that's just the beginning!

Or if that’s all you need you could run Lightsail for simple billing....

I don't need simple billing. Lightsail seems to "suggest" way more expensive options than what I am using right now.

What I need is clear and upfront documentation about pricing, before the bill comes.
