How to pay for infrastructure costs when using an AWS account in a lab environment

[GiangPham]

Hi everyone,

I’m currently preparing for my new exam (EX229) and studying several courses related to this certification through my subscription. Hands-on practice in a real environment is essential, so I’ve been creating environments provided in these courses. They have given me an AWS account to deploy the ROSA cluster and other components.

Based on my research, keeping the ROSA cluster running for an extended period is very helpful for practicing. However, I’m not sure how Red Hat handles the infrastructure costs on these AWS accounts. Will I be responsible for the charges, or are they fully covered as part of my subscription?

I’d appreciate any clarification or support on this question.

Best regards,
Giang

@GiangPham just a quick note to let you know I’m gathering the information you requested. I’m currently waiting on a response from a colleague, and I’ll follow up with you as soon as I have everything.

@TudorRaduta Thank you, hope i will receive these feedback soon

@GiangPham as confirmed by my colleague Chetan, you won’t be charged. However, I’d like to add a word of caution: leaving the lab running will impact the number of lab hours available in your subscription.

@GiangPham As long as you are using the course labs and course instructions - you won't be charged anything.

You will be charded only if you use your own AWS clusters created on your personal account.

@Chetan_Tiwary_Thank you. Does this mean that if I use the account provided by the course lab and follow the tutorials in each chapter, creating the necessary resources, I won't be charged any fees? Do I understand that correctly?
