5. The AWS Free Tier
§ Includes most AWS services
§ Available for all new accounts
§ Good for one year from the day the account is created
§ Everything we show today can be done within the free tier
§ For more details: http://aws.amazon.com/free/

6. Signing up for an AWS account
§ Sign up through https://aws.amazon.com
§ You will need a credit card
§ There will be a telephone verification

7. Demo: Signing up for AWS

8. First Steps: Creating IAM Users
§ Using AWS Identity and Access
Management (IAM), you can create
and manage AWS users and
groups.
§ You can control what resources
each user has access to within an
AWS account.

9. First Steps: Enabling MFA
§ AWS allows you to require multi-
factor authentication for your
users through physical or software-
based single use login tokens. This
protects against stolen passwords
and key loggers.
§ Enable this on IAM users and the
root account

10. Demo: Creating an IAM user
and enabling MFA

11. Amazon EC2 – Creating an SSH key pair
§ SSH stands for Secure Shell
§ SSH keys are used for secured access to EC2 instances
§ SSH keys avoid password weaknesses
§ You can import your own key or have AWS generate a key pair for you.
§ AWS does not store the private part of the key pair

12. Demo: Creating an SSH key
pair for Amazon EC2

13. Amazon EC2 – Creating a Security Group
§ Security Groups are firewalls for your instances
§ By default, they block all traffic
§ You can choose what protocols and ports to open
§ You can use port ranges (e.g. 22-24)
§ You can choose who the ports are open to
§ Create rules with CIDR notation for groups of IP addresses (/32 is a single IP)
§ Create rules that specify Security Groups for other EC2 Instances

14. Demo: Creating a Security
Group in Amazon EC2

15. Amazon EC2 – Launching an Instance
§ Instances are virtual machines running in the cloud
§ You have full control of the instance and can install any
software that you choose
§ You can choose the instance type and size to get different
amounts of memory, CPU, disk, etc.
§ You will need your Key Pair and a Security Group to launch
the instance into

16. Demo: Launching and
connecting to EC2 Instances

17. Amazon EBS – Storage for EC2 Instances
§ Amazon Elastic Block Store is persistent block storage for EC2 instances
§ As small as 1GB and as large as 16TB
§ Available in several different types
§ Create snapshots of EBS volumes in S3 to create backups

18. Amazon EBS – Volume Types
General Purpose
SSD (gp2)
Provisioned IOPS
SSD (io1)
Throughput
Optimized HDD (st1)
Cold HDD (sc1)

21. Amazon S3
§ S3 is Amazon’s Simple Storage Service
§ Store and retrieve almost any amount of data: 1 byte to 5
terabytes per object
§ Highly scalable and durable
§ Encryption available
§ Objects exist in the AWS region you choose
§ Object level permissions
§ Easily accessible

22. Demo: Storing and Serving
Objects with S3

23. Billing and Cost Management
§ There are several features to help you monitor costs and
visualize your AWS spend:
§ Cost Explorer
§ Alerts on Spending Limits
§ Detailed Billing Reports
§ Consolidated Billing

24. Demo: Exploring Billing and
Cost Management
