Get an AWS Account

If you’ve signed up for any website before, you can sign up for AWS. It will ask for a credit card, but you can do a lot of crazy stuff with it for free

When choosing permissions for the keys, you get to weigh the risk vs. the amount of research you need to do. It’s the easiest upfront to add the user to the Admins group.
