If you want to do any hands-on work with Amazon Web Services (AWS), you first need an account. It’s free and easy to set one up starting at aws.amazon.com.
In this hands-on tutorial, I’ll show you how to get started, briefly overview the AWS Free Tier, and walk you through the sign-up process (explaining the reason for a credit card), ending by signing into the AWS Management Console.
