Technical requirements
You will need an AWS account to access the Management Console and CLI, which will be mentioned in the initial part of this chapter. If you need assistance with creating your account, then the https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/create-and-activate-aws-account/ page will walk you through the steps of creating a new account. Basic knowledge of how to use a terminal to complete the shell commands is also required.
Important Note
In this book, we will not be going over the geography, regions, Availability Zones, or edge locations of AWS. These are basic concepts that you should have a firm grasp of before attempting the DevOps exam.
