Identity	card a card is required and must be verified before any instance or cluster exists: 'you need a valid payment method on file at all times, and won't be able to create Kubernetes clusters or instances before your card is verified'. The signup form itself asks only for a name, an email address and a password, and virtual or prepaid cards are refused
Limits	volume-quota USD 250 of credit over 31 calendar days, one trial per customer source per-object-cap the managed control plane costs nothing; workers bill from $0.007440 an hour at 1 core and 1 GB source the trial is 31 days and one per customer; instance quota is published only as an image and a default of 8 vCPU is reported, not documented

Notes	The compute rate card is not linear in cores: Extra Large is 6 cores for $0.119048 while 2X Large is 8 cores for $0.238095, so two Extra Large instances cost the same as one 2X Large and carry 12 cores against 8. Billing rounds up to the full hour and a stopped instance still bills.
