Cost of AWS to complete Cloudera Live tutorials

[#1]

Dear All

How much does it cost to use AWS while completing all the Tutorials ?

Currently the AWS subcription says its a Free 12 month service but is requiring a Credit card number.

If anyone has used Cloudera Live on AWS to complete all the tutorials , requesting you to please let me know  how much did it cost you in total so that I can check if I can afford it.

Warm Regards

It should cost a little less than $30 per day if you accept the default
instance sizes when you're deploying. The year-long free tier on AWS
probably doesn't apply because it limits you to a couple of very small
instances. Once you submit the deployment it takes a bit less than an hour
to be ready, and the tutorial may take you a couple of hours or less.

If you want to save your progress but take a break (e.g. overnight), you
can stop the instances and restart them, however they'll come back with
different IP addresses, so you'll need to look up the new IP address to log
into as the links in your email will have the original address. More
details are in the docs:

If cost is a concern, you may prefer the QuickStart VM. It includes an
almost identical tutorial, but it runs on your workstation instead of the
cloud.

Hope that helps!

Thanks Sean for your quick response.

Since I am new to this probably it will take me more than  a few days to complete the tutorials and the $30 per day cost seems high.

I will try out the VM quickstart option.

Many Thanks Again.
