00:00.970 --> 00:02.710
In this demonstration video,

00:02.710 --> 00:05.110
we will set up an AWS account.

00:05.110 --> 00:07.110
This is an optional lecture,

00:07.110 --> 00:07.400
so

00:07.400 --> 00:09.570
feel free to skip it if you already have

00:09.570 --> 00:10.970
an AWS account.

00:11.400 --> 00:12.170
Also,

00:12.170 --> 00:14.510
please note that all the AWS base labs

00:14.510 --> 00:16.910
and the scores can be accessed directly from

00:16.910 --> 00:19.370
the browser without setting up an AWS account.

00:20.140 --> 00:23.570
To start off, let's go to aws.amazon.com

00:23.570 --> 00:24.940
from the web browser,

00:25.420 --> 00:27.280
and once the page has been loaded,

00:27.280 --> 00:29.170
click on the button on the top right

00:29.170 --> 00:31.170
that says create an AWS account.

00:32.450 --> 00:33.510
Once you do that,

00:33.510 --> 00:35.020
you'll be asked to fill in

00:35.020 --> 00:37.020
an email address and password.

00:37.480 --> 00:38.800
Make sure that you use

00:38.800 --> 00:40.420
a valid email address.

00:40.420 --> 00:42.420
This email ID will be used

00:42.420 --> 00:43.480
as the root account

00:43.480 --> 00:44.820
that will make use of

00:44.820 --> 00:47.450
to log into the management console for the first time.

00:49.080 --> 00:51.420
Next, let's select an appropriate password,

00:52.110 --> 00:54.340
and let's also confirm the same password.

00:55.140 --> 00:57.650
We can also add an AWS account name.

00:58.400 --> 01:00.820
In this case, I'm going to make use of the same name

01:00.820 --> 01:02.310
called terraform -demo,

01:02.850 --> 01:05.110
and once this is done, click on continue.

01:07.510 --> 01:09.020
In this next page, we will have to

01:09.020 --> 01:11.020
add in the contact information.

01:11.680 --> 01:13.480
This account is intended for

01:13.480 --> 01:15.370
personal usage and we'll be making use

01:15.370 --> 01:16.340
of the free tier

01:16.340 --> 01:18.850
so click on the personal account type.

01:20.280 --> 01:22.450
Make sure that all the mandatory fields have been

01:22.450 --> 01:25.220
filled and we can then click on continue.

01:28.080 --> 01:30.850
Once we have entered all the mandatory information,

01:30.850 --> 01:33.110
click on the AWS customer agreement

01:33.110 --> 01:36.000
and click on create account and continue.

01:37.480 --> 01:40.050
Next, we have to enter the payment information.

01:40.220 --> 01:41.710
This is a mandatory step

01:41.710 --> 01:44.310
even though we'll be making use of the free tier.

01:45.940 --> 01:48.020
Once you've entered all the payment information,

01:48.020 --> 01:50.020
click on verify and add.

01:52.400 --> 01:55.170
We'll now be asked to verify our phone number.

01:55.600 --> 01:58.310
In this example, let's select SMS

01:58.970 --> 02:00.710
and enter the phone number

02:01.820 --> 02:03.710
and answer the security check.

02:09.850 --> 02:12.540
You can also optionally use a voice call

02:12.540 --> 02:14.000
to get the security code.

02:14.000 --> 02:15.820
Once you get the security code,

02:15.820 --> 02:18.710
enter it in this screen here and click on verify code.

02:19.800 --> 02:21.710
Next click on continue.

02:22.570 --> 02:23.510
In this final step,

02:23.510 --> 02:25.740
you will be asked to select a support plan.

02:26.000 --> 02:28.170
Since we are interested in only making use of

02:28.170 --> 02:29.110
the free tier

02:29.110 --> 02:31.770
and do not need any extended support from AWS,

02:31.770 --> 02:33.540
let's click on the basic plan.

02:35.570 --> 02:37.910
That's it, our account is now set up.

02:38.400 --> 02:40.620
Next, click on the go to the AWS

02:40.620 --> 02:42.110
Management Console button,

02:43.600 --> 02:45.420
and here click on root user

02:45.420 --> 02:47.110
and enter the same email address

02:47.110 --> 02:49.110
that we use to create this account

02:50.310 --> 02:52.400
and enter the same password.

02:54.940 --> 02:57.970
We are now inside the AWS Management Console.

02:59.370 --> 03:01.880
To see all the services offered by AWS,

03:01.880 --> 03:04.480
click on the Services tab on the top left.

03:06.000 --> 03:06.710
As you can see,

03:06.710 --> 03:08.710
there are plenty of services listed here

03:08.710 --> 03:11.620
which are grouped under several categories.

03:12.220 --> 03:15.050
Under compute, we can see services like EC2,

03:15.200 --> 03:17.340
Lambda, Elastic Beanstalk.

03:17.650 --> 03:19.400
Under storage, we can see services

03:19.400 --> 03:22.280
like S3, EFS, storage gateway.

03:22.600 --> 03:23.880
Under databases,

03:23.880 --> 03:25.850
we have DB such as the RDS

03:25.880 --> 03:27.050
and dynamoDB.

03:28.450 --> 03:30.170
If you scroll a little bit down,

03:30.170 --> 03:32.000
you can see that we have a group called

03:32.000 --> 03:34.280
security identity and compliance.

03:34.280 --> 03:36.280
Here we have IAM, that stands

03:36.280 --> 03:38.370
for identity and access management.

03:39.370 --> 03:41.340
We'll get introduced to some of these services

03:41.340 --> 03:42.340
later in the course,

03:42.340 --> 03:44.680
but first, we'll start off with the introduction

03:44.680 --> 03:47.000
to IAM, which is the next lecture.
