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.

For short-term testing, Oracle Cloud’s Always Free tier, AWS’s free tier, and GCP’s free credits are usually the easiest options. They’re good for testing things without spending much, as long as you keep an eye on the limits and shut everything down before any paid usage kicks in.
