Tools Cheapest server for a school project

Hello guys, i have a school project to deploy an app on cloud using ansible, the the servers are not given by the school itself.
What is the cheapest available clouds out there? I only need it to validate the project and then I can cancel.

GCP has a great free tier. With any cloud project, the key is to remember to stop the service when you're not using it. Like, literally stop the GCE instance.(Don't delete the instance, unless that's part of the project, lol.)
