Setting up your AWS environment

Important Note

Please do not execute the instructions in this section on their own. This section is a reference for all the basic setup tasks needed throughout the book. You will be guided to this section when building your solution in this chapter and the rest of the chapters in this book. Only execute these tasks when so guided.

Depending on the chapter you are in, you will be running tasks using the AWS Management Console, an Amazon SageMaker Jupyter notebook, from your command line, or a combination of any of these. Either way, you need the right AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) permissions, resources, and, in most cases, one or more Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) buckets, as prerequisites for your solution builds. This section provides instructions for setting up these basic tasks. We will be referring to this section throughout the rest of the chapters in the book as needed.
