Set up to use AWS Private CA

If you're not already an Amazon Web Services (AWS) customer, you must sign up to be able to use AWS Private CA. Your account automatically has access to all available services, but you are charged only for services that you use.

Sign up for an AWS account

To get started with AWS, you need an AWS account. There are two ways to sign up for AWS. If you want complete control over account configuration and where your content is stored, or if you have regulated workloads such as HIPAA or FedRAMP, use Sign up for AWS (advanced). If you are a new user and want to use a login you already own to sign in to AWS and create an AWS environment with preconfigured defaults in select AWS Regions, use Sign up for AWS.

Install the AWS Command Line Interface

If you have not installed the AWS CLI but want to use it, follow the directions at AWS Command Line Interface. In this guide, we assume that you have configured your endpoint, Region, and authentication details, and we omit these parameters from the sample commands.
