Hello everyone and welcome to Amazon Web Services account set up lecture this lecture I'm going to show
you how you can set up your own account on AWOS what you should do is go to this link AWOS thought Amazon
Dot com slash free now we'll take you to the Amazon Web Services link where it actually explains what
is available to you in the free tier.
Then you click on create free accounts you'll sign up with an email address and fill out the profile
information.
Let me go ahead and jump to this link in my browser so I can walk you through the steps.
All right.
Here I am.
AWOS the Amazon Dot com slash free.
A quick note if you signed up to Amazon Web services through their normal link AWOS Amazon.com you'll
also have access to the free tier as long as it's your first time signing up for a.
Basically what the free tier is it's just designed for you to actually get a feel for.
AWOS cloud services and you get free tier access for up to 12 months following your sign up date and
the free access allows you to use several products such as Amazon E.S. to Amazon S3 and other products
that we actually won't really be working with the main ones we're really going to be working with.
Is Amazon C-2 Amazon easy to he can basically just think of it as a cloud computer so just a virtual
computer.
We're going to set everything up there and we're going to be using the free tier which is known as these
T-2 micro instance usage.
You can use it up to 750 hours per month.
So keep in mind if you exceed 750 hours per month you will begin to get charged for it.
So you have to be really careful when you're working with Amazon Web Services and make sure to shut
things down once you're done using them.
And we'll go over that later on when we actually set up the E.C to incense.
But again it's really important that you keep in mind shutting stuff down once you're done using it
.
Otherwise you will get charged for it.
As far as the exercises in this course and what we're going to be showing you everything will be contained
within the free tier usage as long as you don't accidentally leave your instance running.
OK.
So you can go ahead and explore more.
You can hear right featured products you can actually see all the products that are available to you
under the free tier Amazon Web Services has a ton of products and you can go ahead and check them out
.
There's a lot of stuff to explore there.
But really we're just going to be using it for this Amazon E.C too will be using a really small instance
but later if you want to spend money and actually work with big data for your company for your own personal
usage instead of using a micro instance you can use an actual larger instance of a computer.
Keep in mind you would have to pay for that.
But the set up would be the exact same process for this micro instance that's free.
Again what you're going to go ahead and do is just click here.
Create free account when you click on that link it should take you to the sign up page and that will
look like this.
And again you're going to be signing up for an AWOS account and you'll get a year of free tier access
where you're going to go ahead and do either answer an email or mobile number state that you're a new
user.
And then you'll continue using your secure server.
Let me go ahead and tell you what the next steps are by going back to the presentation.
OK so once you're actually signing in and creating the AWOS account it's going to ask you for some profile
information that includes just basic contact information billing information so you will need to provide
a debit card or a credit card in case you go over the free limits.
Now like I mentioned everything in this course will be under the free limits as long as you remember
to follow the instructions exactly and shut off your instances.
You know you'll have an I.D. verification usually that's through a phone call depending on where you
live.
And then you're just going to go ahead and choose the free support plan and then the next lecture we're
going to do is explore AWOS the console and create an easy to instance.
So again overall All you have to do is go to AWOS Amazon Dot com slash free click on create account
just follow the on screen prompts.
Fill out all your information and you should be good to go for the next lecture.
Thanks everyone and I'll see you at the next lecture.
