Searching for a cheap to free VPS for just building my Android ROM.

I am working on an Opensource Android ROM, Here is the source take a look: https://github.com/ProjectSakura

So I was using AWS and GCP trials up till now to just somehow keep working. But right now i ran out of all physical and virtual cards for more trials. So if anyone knows any really cheap VPS ( or free .. i know i m being a dick) please tell me.
Requirements will be around 4-8 cores of CPU,
around 4-8 GB of RAM, around 400GB of HDD and a internet connection that can sync up whole android 10 source. I will be doing the editing locally so i just need a VPS to build.

    Alibaba Cloud? DigitalOcean? Azure? Scaleway?

    There are tons of cloud providers that should tide you over for another year or so for a free VPS.

    Best bet is hourly billed vps. Check lunanode.com. Load your wallet, choose the specs you need, create the vps, get billed hourly and destroy the vps after usage.

    How much space does the source really need? Perhaps you could check if Oracle's free cloud can be used. With only 1 core and 1GB of RAM, the build process will be much slower but still doable, right?

    Actually alibaba's specifications are quite lower.. i had an azure student account way back tho. Digital Ocean is used up to with github's student pack. Let me check scaleway.

    Android 10 takes up around 30GB with compiled files. So Oracle's free cloud isn't going to work.

    Azure is giving a ton of free credit to new users, apply to their startup programme too. Digital Ocean is giving $100 for the first 60 days. If you're signing up for free trials then you won't have an issue. Do the YC startup course and you can get tons of credit.

    Thanks for the help but StackNetwork already sponsored my project now :)
