Update (2026): These notes are from 2020. AWS console layouts, free-tier terms and SageMaker Studio (since reworked) have changed, so check the current AWS documentation and pricing pages.

Projects galore. You need to log in to the AWS management console to try them out.

A free instance (with an attached IP address) can be created easily using Lightsail.

A warning about charges

A bit of confusion can cost you money. You are charged for the notebook instance inside Amazon SageMaker Studio, but the "Notebook instances" tab won't show any running notebook. Make sure to delete the app and user inside Amazon SageMaker Studio to avoid unexpected charges from a notebook instance still running there. In the two photos above, a notebook instance charge occurred, yet no notebook instance is visible in the second photo.
