Setting up an AWS account

- [Instructor] So let's set up an AWS account if you don't have one. I select My Account, select AWS Management Console, and select Create a new AWS account. I then need to enter my email address, a password, confirm my password, and enter my account name. And select Continue. I then want to select that the account type is personal. I need to enter my phone number. I select which country I'm based in, my address, city, state and my postal code.

I then need to check the box to confirm that I've read the terms and conditions. And I select Create Account and Continue. I then need to enter my credit card details, the expiration date and my name. And I've had to provide my phone number because I am going to get a phone verification. I then enter my security check, so the digits that I see, and then I select Call Me Now. I'll then get a call from AWS, and I need to enter the four digit number that I have on the screen on my phone keypad.

So my identity has been verified successfully. I select Continue. I then select the free basic plan. And I am now in a position to sign into my console. So I select Sign into Console. I enter the email address that I've just registered with and the password, click Sign In. And you can see that I'm now in the AWS console.
