Considering the small audience and purpose, I would not have any problem using the always free offerings of either Oracle or Google (the latter especially if located in the US).
AFAIK you'd still need to leave your card details to use free offers. No thanks, I'd rather pay $5 but in crypto.
As you wish, indeed the only free offer without credit cards is the one of azure for students. In any case you are not anonymous.
In this case it's not just about anonymity imo. I just read enough stories to know that leaving a card that can be charged at any time tied to an account is a bad practice.
I have heard of several cloud screw-ups as well, leading to charges of several thousands.
On one side this can happen if you experiment something outside of the free machine(s), on the other side you have all the reporting and notification tools to avoid surprises.
Nonetheless, I still see your point, reason why I prefer to use an almost dry revolut prepaid for all the cloud accounts instead of my main credit card.
Oh thx, I didn't think about free options
