Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a cloud computing platform that offers IT resources on-demand over the Internet, featuring pay-as-you-go pricing. Instead of owning and managing physical data centers and servers, users can access compute, storage, databases, and more as required.
AWS offers a free tier with limited usage available to new AWS customers for 12 months from the date of sign-up. You will find more details here.
Let’s create an AWS free tier account.
Step 1: Visit AWS Website
Navigate to the AWS website and click on the create an AWS account button on the top right corner.

A nominal charge of about INR ₹2.00 may be applied to confirm the card’s validity, it will refunded within 2-3 working days. You will receive OTP to verify your identity and complete the payment process.
Step 5: Choose your Support Plan
Select your desired AWS support plan. If you’re new to AWS, consider starting with the free Basic support plan. Select a support plan from below and make your choice from the available options.
I recommend familiarizing yourself with the details of each Support plan to understand what is covered. For me, I’ve opted for the Basic support – Free plan.
Finally, proceed with completing the sign-up process.
