Throughout this book, there are a number of demonstrations that you can follow to help with your learning. As a result, I suggest you have your own AWS account created that is not used for any production environments. You can follow along on either a Linux-based or windows-based operating system, however, I suggest you also have the AWS CLI installed.
| Software/Hardware covered in the book | OS Requirements |
| Amazon Web Services Management Console | Any device with a modern browser |
| AWS Command Line Interface | Linux/Windows |
To create a new AWS account, please follow the guide found at: https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/create-and-activate-aws-account/.
To install the AWS CLI, please follow the guide found at: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-chap-install.html.
On completion of this book, I suggest you get as much hands-on experience with AWS as possible to use the different AWS services that are discussed to help reinforce the material from each of the chapters.
