You can sign up to Amazon Web Services (AWS) by navigating to the following page, http://aws.amazon.com/, and following the sign-up instructions.

For the first year of membership, Amazon offers a free usage tier. Free usage is subject to a number of restrictions—in particular, you can only use the smallest hardware configuration, t1.micro on Linux. For full details of what is allowed in the free usage tier, see: http://aws.amazon.com/free.

	Important
	You will be charged for any services you use that do not lie within the scope of the free usage tier. Always terminate compute instances to minimize charges.
