Technical requirements

You will require an AWS Account with root access. Everything we will do in this chapter will be available as Free Tier, which means you can run all the example code without spending any money as long as your account has only been opened within the last 12 months. You will also require AWS command-line interface (CLI) access. The AWS guide (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-chap-configure.html) explains the steps required but we will summarize them here:

1. Open an AWS account if you have not already done so.
2. Download the latest version of the AWS CLI from here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/welcome-versions.html#welcome-versions-v2.
3. Create an admin user: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_access-keys.html.
4. Create an access key for your administration user: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/getting-started_create-admin-group.html#getting-started_create-admin-group...
