Note: 

AWS Free Tier Has many limitations. Some Important things to know!!

> Free tier instances will be available for 1 year! After that it will be charged. You need to either pay or need to delete the instance.

> It will be completely free for 1 Year if you stay within the limits!!

> Free Tier has 15GB Bandwidth limit/Month. That is, You cant host any bots that transfers data outside of server. Like Rename or Upload bots! Because Uploading your file to telegram counts as Outbound traffic. And 15 GB is too less for that!

> Max Storage allocated for free tier is 30GB! If you select above that, Your card will be billed!

> AWS RDS Postgres DB used for Marie BOT is free for 12 months. You must delete you DB Before free tier ENDS or else your card will be billed!
If you plan to use free, all you filters will be lost after 1 year!
So better use any other DB instead of AWS RDS if you want to keep your filters. Heroku Postgres DB is also a option!
Simply copy the DB URL from heroku and paste in config.py file :)

> Only make one instance in free tier! If you make two, you will be Billed!

This is just a TUTORIAL on how to host bots inside a VPS or VPC etc!
We are not responsible if you exceed any limits and YOU are charged..

If you are willing to pay for VPS there are many better options other than AWS such as Digital Ocean, Scaleway, Hetzner etc..
