Registering for AWS

1. Open the browser and go to https://aws.amazon.com/free, then create a free account as follows:

2. 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.
3. Connect to the AWS console at https://aws.amazon.com and provide your username and password.
4. 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.
