Creating an account

To access all of these services you need to create a free AWS developer account. Go to aws.amazon.com and click Create a Free Account. To create an account you need to follow the sign-up process. The process is very thorough and requires you to enter payment details and receive an automated phone call. This process is to validate that you are a genuine user.

Once you've created your AWS account you can access all of the services through the Amazon Console (console.aws.amazon.com). There is a lot of useful information on the console page. Build a solution and Learn to build are tutorials and information on how to use some of the services.
