Kuberns free-plan watch

New sign-ups get trial credits (~3-day trial, promotional '2x free credits' offer) plus a 30-day money-back guarantee; ongoing usage is pure pay-as-you-go with no platform/per-user/per-project fee. Baseline inclusions across usage tiers: 5GB data transfer, 20GB storage, 1 IP address. Exact trial-credit dollar amount and per-resource unit prices remain unpublished/unclear -- secondary sources conflict (one cites 'starts at $7/mo', another cites '$22/mo for smallest VM').
