Technical requirements
For this chapter, you are going to need an AWS root account. If needed, an account can be created at https://portal.aws.amazon.com/billing/signup#/start/email. With a new account, you should be able to follow most, if not all, of the examples in this chapter using the free tier (https://aws.amazon.com/free/). An optional step for creating and deploying an application to demonstrate Amazon Cognito capabilities requires Java Software Development Kit (SDK) version 11 or above.
