- Open the browser and go to https://aws.amazon.com/free, then create a free account as follows:
Creating a free account in AWS
- We need to provide our details and our credit card information. AWS will not charge you if you are compliant with their free tier license.
- Connect to the AWS console at https://aws.amazon.com and provide your username and password.
- Finally, choose your AWS default location.
AWS suggests that you create a dedicated account for administrative purposes. In this exercise, we will use the standard root account, but for a production environment, click on the IAM service and enable an admin account.
