Here are the new Always Free usage limits:

https://cloud.google.com/free/docs/always-free-usage-limits

They are (IMO) quite generous. Definitely sufficient to get a good feel for the platform and run some personal workloads.

Disclaimer: Nothing to do with this launch, but I do work on GCP.

I do use Google Compute Engine, but the pricing on the page is extremely confusing...This is for developers who understand how things work so it shouldn't be that confusing. The page you mention has a 'Try it for free' but brings me back to the sign up page and it only mentions the $300 credit for 12 months.

So it's unclear what I'm signing up for...and I need a credit card so Google can confirm I'm not a bot? I have the same problem with using the Cloud platform...I have to search google to find anything like the firewall/networking/billing etc...

There is a list of GCP products with free quota (some of these have been around for a while in some form but may have changed details, many seem to completely new with this announcement.)

This is in addition to the time-limited free trial credit, and the free quota applies before any payment (including from the trial credit).
