Question #1369
Which AWS service is always available free of charge to users?
AWS Lambda

Explanation
AWS Organizations (B) is always free because it does not charge for its core features, such as consolidating billing and managing multiple AWS accounts. Other options have costs:
- AWS Lambda (A): Offers a free tier with monthly limits, but charges apply beyond those limits.
- AWS CloudFormation (C): Free tier includes a limited number of operations, but usage beyond incurs costs.
- Amazon RDS (D): Provides a 12-month free tier for select databases, but charges apply afterward.
Key Point: AWS Organizations is free regardless of usage, while other services have usage-based pricing or temporary free tiers.
