We will use Amazon Web Services (AWS) in several recipes in various chapters (Chapter 7, Language Identification and Translation, and Chapter 11, Creating a Chatbot). This is a cloud-based service that provides a multitude of services, including support for various NLP tasks. A server is located in the cloud and requires a client application to connect and then request a service. The server will then respond, sending results back to the client.
In this recipe, we will demonstrate how to set up your system to use AWS. These services are free for a period of time and as long as the limits on access are not exceeded. When used for the later recipes, you should not exceed these limits. More information regarding pricing is found at https://aws.amazon.com/pricing/?nc2=h_ql_pr.
