Notes	The page that the record cites no longer carries a price list: it is a product navigation page, and its only free route is a 60-day trial. The prior 404 on the default read was a partial extraction, not a dead page.
Evidence rung	documented the page was reached on 2026-10-22 through the firecrawl provider after the default read returned 404. It carries no price table and points at a trials page, so the record's free-tier claim is not established by it and the rung stays reported on that field

Red Hat Developer Sandbox Compute

Free tier	Quoted: 'The Developer Sandbox provides you with a 30-day trial experience to a selection of Red Hat products.' and 'It is free. There is no credit card required. All you need is a Red Hat account.' One private OpenShift project on a shared multi-tenant cluster. unit hours; metered on wall-clock
Price	none stated
Per-object cap	one project per sandbox, on a pre-configured resource quota that 'cannot be changed'
Retention	Quoted: 'Your Developer Sandbox is active for 30 days'. Work can be exported before the trial ends and imported into a fresh 30-day trial: 'you can export your work before one trial ends, and import it when you've started your next 30 day trial'.
Egress	not published: neither the overview, the FAQ nor the try-it page states a traffic allowance for the sandbox. Routes and services are exposed through the shared cluster's router, which is normal OpenShift ingress.
Identity	any-phone no card, no payment data, no national ID. A Red Hat account plus a validated phone number: 'We require a valid phone number to reduce the creation of fraudulent accounts'. The FAQ does not say which countries' numbers are accepted, and no country list is published on the page read today.
Limits	retention-clamped the sandbox is deleted 30 days after it starts source volume-quota pods are deleted after 12 consecutive hours of running; Linux VMs are shut down after 1 hour of continuous operation source write-gated phone-number validation at signup source
Binding	retention-clamped Thirty days is a hard stop with no renewal in place, and the 1-hour VM shutdown means a VM cannot be a WireGuard node or an always-on monitor even inside that window.
Interface	rest, cli `oc` CLI over the cluster API with a login token, plus the OpenShift web console and OpenShift Dev Spaces (a browser VS Code). Pods are ordinary OpenShift workloads; Linux VMs are available through OpenShift Virtualization.
Tooling	the `oc` or `kubectl` CLI, or the web console; Dev Spaces needs only a browser
Composes with	A real Kubernetes namespace with 14 GB of RAM to schedule against for 30 days, no card, which is the cheapest place to run a long-lived container or a small VM without owning a host.
Reliability	No reliability event observed. Shared multi-tenant cluster, so a neighbour's load is a plausible cause of a slow pod; the vendor publishes no status page for the sandbox on the pages read.
Notes	The largest no-card machine quota found: 14 GB of RAM against a real Kubernetes API for 30 days. Three caveats. First, the phone requirement is the identity cost and the FAQ gives no country list, so whether a non-Chinese, non-institutional number passes is unverified. Second, the 14 GB figure comes from podman-desktop.io rather than developers.redhat.com; the exact quota is readable only inside a live namespace with `oc describe quota`. Third, the 1-hour VM shutdown makes OpenShift Virtualization useless for an always-on node even though it is advertised. A separate OpenShift Dedicated trial exists on the same page at 60 days, but it provisions into a Google Cloud account the applicant owns, which brings its own card question and was not pursued.
Evidence rung	documented The 30-day term, the no-card statement, the phone requirement and the 12-hour/1-hour workload reaps are quoted from Red Hat's own FAQ read today. The 14 GB RAM and 40 GB storage quota is from podman-desktop.io, a Red Hat-adjacent documentation site, not from a page on developers.redhat.com, so it is reported rather than documented.
