AWS: if you deploy something

AWS

Nothing in the course requires AWS. This page is here for when you want a machine that is not your laptop — most often because the application you built is a web app you would rather have running somewhere real, or because you want a box that stays up between sessions. A small EC2 instance is the expected path.

Register your account, then upload your account ID

Do the following steps in week one (we are not able to process requests after the deadline):

  1. Create an AWS account at aws.amazon.com if you do not already have one. New accounts sit inside the AWS Free Tier, which covers a small instance for far more hours than this assignment needs.
  2. Provide your name, email, and AWS account ID to the course form — the URL will be posted on Canvas and Ed.

Your account ID is the twelve-digit number in the console's account menu, or:

aws sts get-caller-identity --query Account --output text
