As the first task, you must sign up for the AWS account. The AWS account allows you to access the Amazon FPS Sandbox and production environment. If you already have an AWS account and you understand the use of the access identifiers associated with the account, you can skip directly to Getting an FPS Developer Account.
You can register with AWS at the AWS web site at http://aws.amazon.com . The following access identifiers are automatically associated with your AWS account:
AWS Access Key ID—You use this to identify yourself when you send requests to the Co-Branded service or when you send REST requests to Amazon FPS.
AWS Secret Access Key—You use this to generate URL signatures that provide tamper-proof requests.
