AWS Exercises

Creating an Free Tier AWS account

Using an AWS Free Tier account
As a best practice, do not use the AWS root user account for any task where it’s not required. Instead, create a new IAM user with administrator access and use the new user account for all of these exercises. Use the following link in AWS documentation to create a new Admin user: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/getting-started_create-admin-group.html
