Free tier view
AWS allows free usage indefinitely if you keep your usage low, with api fully available for the free-tier services.
GCP allows free usage for three months if you keep your usage low, and finding the api? I ended up giving up.
Google KNOWS that human error causes 80% of their own OMGs. Using the API is the only acceptable way to manage prod resources. And yet, they don't seem to want you to play at that level.
