    Getting Started With AWS Console

    Before we start exploring the features of this console, you need to create an account on AWS. For people who do not have an account can visit AWS’ website and create a free account. You must enter your credit/debit card details. AWS would not charge you during your free subscription as long as you use the services as per the specified limits.
