Creating an Amazon Web Services Account

Note

When you create an account, AWS automatically signs up the account for all services. You are charged only for the services you use.

To create an AWS account

Go to http://aws.amazon.com, and click Create an AWS Account.
Follow the on-screen instructions.
Part of the sign-up procedure involves receiving a phone call and entering a PIN using the phone keypad.
