Amazon Web Service (AWS) account (trial version) without credit card info

I tried to create account on aws.amazon.com. But it needs credit card information to complete the login process.

As I do not intend to use AWS for any commercial purpose but for academic/self-learning purpose, is there way to create a trial account ( probably a limited version say limited functionalities or limited time period )

There is no such thing as a 'free' AWS account. All accounts are full, production accounts. You will always need to provide a credit card to use AWS (or sign-up for invoicing). If you wish to try some AWS service, you can take advantage of the Free Usage Tier.

The AWS Free Usage Tier provides a limited quantity of some AWS services at no charge. When you exceed the quantity of usage (eg hours of an Amazon EC2 t2.micro instance, amount of storage in Amazon S3), then you will be charged normal rates for the service.

although this is an old question but it will help someone. So If you are a student or educator AWS also provide credits for hands-on experience with AWS technology, training, content, career pathways and the AWS Educate job board. You can join from below link AWS Educate

The new AWS Educate Starter Account requires no credit card to join.

Now you can create an AWS account using a debit card(debit card is easy to get). I created an AWS account with my debit card. I wrote a blog about this topic. Create AWS account without a credit card. Hope it will help someone.

You can use your debit card to create your free tier account. They basically charge you Rs.2 and that will be refunded once your account is created. You no more need to have a credit card in specific. Then again there needs to be some payment method linked to your account.
