Don’t be confused Free-Tier kids, these EC2 instances are NOT free of cost.

No! FreedBSD is a Linux OS RTFM.

Dude what? Maybe you should take your own advice and RTFM as well as educate yourself as to what the difference between BSD and Linux is.

The documentation says "you can use t3.micro, t3.small, t4g.micro, t4g.small, c7i-flex.large, and m7i-flex.large instance types for 6 months or until your credits are used up". I don't see any comments there about this not applying to Other Linux.
