A lot of us dont trust them. They want credit cards and justifications and an approval process that seems like it is one of their con-fusion Enterprise apps. It's a hit or a miss especially if you want a machine in a geography that's not in the same region as your CC.

They don’t ask you for credit card details for their Free Tier version. I know because I’ve had that for over a year now.

In fact, their free tier is designed such that you only use free services. If you want to use their paid tier, you need to explicitly upgrade. I like that because that means I’ll never run into any unexpected charges.

I had to give a CC even for the free tier. Not sure if it some dark pattern that I could have skipped and on gone on to the next step. I filled everything in, nothing really came out of it other than an email or so but account details never turned up.

Let me check once again.
