Get an AWS Account and Your AWS Credentials
To access AWS, you will need to sign up for an AWS account.
To sign up for an AWS account
1. Open http://aws.amazon.com, and then click Sign Up.
2. Follow the on-screen instructions.
Part of the sign-up procedure involves receiving a phone call and entering a PIN using the phone
keypad.
AWS sends you a confirmation e-mail after the sign-up process is complete. At any time, you can view
your current account activity and manage your account by going to http://aws.amazon.com and clicking
My Account/Console.
To get your access key ID and secret access key
Access keys consist of an access key ID and secret access key, which are used to sign programmatic
requests that you make to AWS. If you don't have access keys, you can create them by using the AWS
Management Console.
