How To Create AWS Account

Creating an AWS account involves several steps to ensure your account is set up correctly. Here's a step-by-step guide:

Go to the AWS Sign Up Page:

Navigate to the AWS sign-up page.

Create a New Account:

Click on the "Create a new AWS account" button.

Enter Your Account Information:

Provide your email address, choose a password, and select an AWS account name. Click "Continue".

Contact Information:

Enter your contact information, including your full name, phone number, and address. Choose between a professional or personal account. Click "Create Account and Continue".

Payment Information:

Enter your credit card or debit card details. AWS uses this to verify your identity and to charge for any services you may use beyond the free tier. Click "Verify and Add".

Identity Verification:

You will be asked to verify your identity via a phone call or SMS. Enter the provided PIN to complete the verification process.

Select a Support Plan:

Choose a support plan. The Basic Support Plan is free, but AWS also offers Developer, Business, and Enterprise Support Plans for a fee.

Confirm and Sign In:

Once your account is created, you will receive a confirmation email. Click the link in the email to activate your account. Sign in to the AWS Management Console.

After signing in, you can start using AWS services. It’s a good idea to set up some initial configurations like enabling Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for enhanced security and setting up billing alerts to manage costs.
