Amazon Redshift launched a new getting started experience with the Amazon Redshift Serverless free trial. This will be the recommended path for first time users in regions where Amazon Redshift Serverless is already available, and will replace the Redshift DC2.large based free trial for provisioned clusters. In regions where Amazon Redshift Serverless is not yet available, customers can continue to use the two-month free trial of DC2.large node in provisioned clusters.
First time users of Amazon Redshift Serverless continue to be eligible to use a $300 credit with a 90-day expiration date towards their compute usage. For an easier path to get started, Amazon Redshift also recently launched a new lower data warehouse base capacity configuration of 8 RPUs (Redshift Processing Units) in Amazon Redshift Serverless, so you have more flexibility to start small and scale as needed to try out a variety of workloads leveraging the free trial.
