<i>"$1,000 in credit to spend on processor time and/or storage in Amazon’s cloud."</i><p>Amazon has been doing that for years. I was offered AWS credit when I took a machine learning course at Hacker Dojo a few years back.<p>The first one is always free.
What is the cost of a Verified Certificate for this course?<p>According to the pricing section of the Verified Certificate page, the minimum fee varies by course but I can't find a way to determine the minimum fee without an account.
This is a flat $1000 credit, right? It's not a monthly credit? I think this is a pretty cool program but with Microsoft Bizspark you get $150 monthly credit on Azure for 3 years plus an MSDN subscription.<p>Either way, it's cool seeing Amazon offer this to people who are interested.
Does anyone know if an existing AWS account would qualify for the credit? I haven't used mine in a while - mostly on DO right now - though I miss the services AWS provides, so this would definitely get me to migrate back.
