It's very simple to set up an account; all you need is about five minutes, a smartphone, and a credit card:

1. Create an account. AWS accounts include 12 months of Free Tier access: https://aws.amazon.com/free/.
2. Enter your name and address.
3. Provide a payment method.
4. Verify your phone number.

This will create a root account, I recommend you only use it for billing and not development
