AWS Setup

If you do not already have an AWS account and wish to follow along with these examples, please log on to https://aws.amazon.com/ and sign up. The process is pretty straightforward; you will need a credit card and some way to verify your identity, such as a mobile phone that can accept text messages.

A good thing about AWS when we are just getting started is that they offer many services in a free tier (https://aws.amazon.com/free/), where you can use the services for free up to a certain level. For example, we will use the Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) service in this chapter; the free tier for EC2 is the first 750 hours per month for its t2.micro or t3.micro instances for the first 12 months.

I recommend always starting with the free tier and gradually increasing your tier when the need arises. Please check the AWS site for the latest offerings:
