I'm on the free tier on GCP and trying to create an Alert under billing as per https://cloud.google.com/billing/docs/how-to/budgets#create-budget. However I don't see the option Budgets & alerts, is it because I'm on the free tier ?
Also if I'm on the free tier if I accidentally try to use a service that gets billed I assume I will get blocked ?
Did you upgrade your account with a credit card? Free Tier means that certain service levels are free. If you have not upgraded to a paid account, then you will be blocked from some services. If you have upgraded to a paid account, you will be charged.
If you have not upgraded, then you cannot be charged. This also means that you cannot set a budget alert as you have no budget or spend.
On the Billing Account Overview page, look for the Credit info card.
If the Cloud Billing account is still limited to a Free Trial Cloud Billing account, you will see a Free trial credit info card.
This card displays the status of any remaining free trial credits, and provides an Upgrade button.
If the Cloud Billing account is upgraded to a paid account, you will see a Promotional credits info card.
This card displays the status of any remaining free trial credits. To view the details of the free trial, click Credit details.

One year ago I have created an AWS free trial account and I haven't used it yet. Will it charge anything? Now I have suspended my account by myself. Will it be a problem? Can I create a new AWS account now with the same email or credit card details?
Understand the AWS Free Tier
The AWS Free Tier provides customers the ability to explore and try out AWS services free of charge up to specified limits for each service. The Free Tier is comprised of three different types of offerings, a 12-month Free Tier, an Always Free offer, and short term trials. Services with a 12-month Free Tier allow customers to use the product for free up to specified limits for one year from the date the account was created.
More information about Free tier can be found here: AWS Free Tier FAQs
If you did not use any of the services, or if you terminated/removed your resources before the end of the free trial and did not you didn't exceed the free tier limits you won'`t be charged.
Can I use the same email twice?
AWS does not allow the same email id across more than one AWS accounts, even if you close the AWS account associated with the email id. You can reopen your account following this doc Can I reopen my closed AWS account
Can I use my credit card in different accounts?
For the credit card, you will not have problems to use with multiple AWS accounts.
If you need help you can try to contact the AWS support here.

I'm being charged for "E2 Instance Core running in Seoul". The billing report says the related service is "Compute Engine", but there is no VM instance running from Compute Engine. I can't track the cause of the bill.
Not sure if it's related, but I created 4 Cloud Run services with 0 minimum instances auto-scaling settings and runs probably 0~5 mins per day. But the usage of the "E2 Instance Core running in Seoul" is 84 hours for 7 days. So I don't think that's the cause.
Why am I being charged for "E2 Instance Core running in Seoul"?
As confirmed in the comments, when using a VPC Serverless Connector, this connector is charged as e2-micro instances as stated by pricing docs.
This is the reason why you see these charges even if you're not having a VM in GCE.
Also to confirm, you can use the following tip from the docs:
You can view your Serverless VPC Access costs in the Cloud Console by filtering your billing reports by the label key serverless-vpc-access.
There are two possiblities:
Resources were created in the wrong region due to a bug - contact billing support and explain everything. If they confirm that it's a bug you can file it on IssueTracker.
Your account has been compromised - in this case I can recommend reading some documentation:
Compromised credentials
Identify and secure compromised accounts
Check the login audit log and see for any unathorised / suspicious looking logins and audit logs for entries related to the resources located in Seoul. It may be in a different project (which would support "being hacked" version).

I recently found out through aws support that if your Organization's Root account is not within the free tier, then the attached account to the root account is also not eligible for free-tier unless it is stand-alone(the attached account are a new account and eligible for free tier).
Now my query is if I create a new account then make it an Organization's Root account and associate account eligible for free tier to the Organization. Will I be eligible for AWS free tier?
In the AWS documentation the below is stated:
If your company creates your AWS account through AWS Organizations, AWS Free Tier eligibility for all member accounts begins on the day that the master account of the organization is created.
This means that if your Organization master account was created further than 12 months ago there will be no free tier access. The usage itself is distributed across the entire Organization.
To calculate the Organization’s use of AWS Services under any Offers, we will aggregate the usage across all accounts in the Organization.
If any stand alone accounts have already used their free tier, when the account is attached to the Organization the entire Organization will no longer have free-tier.

I have free credit account on Google Cloud Platform. I want to access a GPU for training my deep learning project. I even submitted different quota requests, but every time it got rejected. Do I need to pay some money to GCP to access a GPU? How can I do that? Here is the reply that I got from Google every time,"We have received your quota request for deep-learning-261006.
Unfortunately, we are unable to grant you additional quota at this time. If
this is a new project please wait 48h until you resubmit the request or
until your Billing account has additional history.
Your Sales Rep is a good Escalation Path for these requests, and we highly
recommend you to reach out to them."
From the docs:
Program coverage
You can't have more than 8 cores (or virtual CPUs) running at the same time.
You can't add GPUs to your VM instances.
You can't request a quota increase. For an overview of Compute Engine quotas, see Resource quotas.
You can't create VM instances that are based on Windows Server images.
You'll be able to add GPUs to your VM instances by upgrading your account. This can be done by clicking on the activate button in the cloud console. Please note that your credit card on file is charged for resources you use in excess of what's covered by any remaining credit.

I have got 75 dollars and 1 years of free tier uses in amazon awseducate. it is called amazon aws student starter pack. I created only one ec2 instance and one rds in free tier. But Amazon is charging from the 75 dollars every day. Even I cannot issue a support ticket. Because student account can't create a support ticket.
https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/educate-starter-account/
Having the free tier doesn't mean everything is free - there are certain products, and certain levels of products that are free - if you use products or services outside the designated free options, you will need to pay - sometimes a lot.
For example, you can use 1 free ec2 instance of the t2 type free for a year (I believe its only the t2-small).
If you spin up a d2.8xlarge instead, and leave it running all year you will have a bill of almost $50K - so pay attention to what is free and what you are using; check your bill often, and contact aws support on their support forums or at the /r/aws forum on reddit.
The answer is the aws educate doesnt support free tier.Most student get confused about support ticket because aws support ticket is blocked from account console. But there is another ink for awseducate support. I dont know why they make two support service different here is the link https://aws.amazon.com/education/awseducate/contact-us/
