Creating a free-tier account in AWS:

https://aws.amazon.com/free/
Use the above link and follow instructions as mentioned to create a free tier account in
AWS. You will need a validcredit / debit card and a mobile to create this account.
The credit / debit card is used for identification purposes only. If there is a nominal
debit of Rs. 2/- (sometimes $1) from your card, the same will be credited back in a
couple of days.
Important: Create the free-tier account at least 2 days before the start of the
training since this account, may, at times take 24 hours to get activated. If your
account is not activated by the first day of the training, you will be missing out on
a lot of hands-on labs.
To test if your desktop / laptop is correctly activated, sign in using the portal
console.aws.amazon.com – provide your credentials and you should land on the
AWS Management Console. On the top left, notice the tab “Services”, and select
EC2 from the drop-down box. If you can view the EC2 dashboard, then your
account has been fully activated.
