Sign up for AWS

There are two AWS key services we'll be making use of during this guide:

  • EC2: the Elastic Compute Cloud platform to run the virtual instance.
  • S3: the Simple Storage Service is used as an intermediate container for files while they are imported into EC2.

Sign up is relatively straightforward, but you'll need both a credit card (you won't be charged right away) and a telephone number (for verification).

Installing the EC2 CLIs
