We will follow the AWS Documentation to make sure that your account is set up correctly.
Follow the steps for the first module for creating your account on the official AWS documentation.
When following the steps provided by the AWS documentation, you can select a Personal Account
and the Basic Support
plan. Although it does require a credit card to create an account, most of the services in AWS have a free tier that provide enough credit to experiment and run small scale projects.
Follow the steps for the second module for creating an admin account and securing the root user of your account.
Follow the steps for the third module for installing the AWS CLI and configuring your credentials.
Once you have created your credentials, Cdev will use the AWS credentials that are configured to deploy resources in the cloud.
We highly recommend taking the time to create Billing Alerts on your AWS Account. These billing alerts will help you proactively react to situations where something has gone wrong with the resources you have created as opposed to finding out at the end of the billing cycle.
