Create an AWS account to use with Quote Confirmation
To use the Quote Confirmation service, you need an active AWS account. This account is separate from your AWS Elemental User Community account.
If you already have an active AWS account, you can use that account for Quote Confirmation, or you can create a new account. Each quote issued to you is associated with only one AWS account. If you receive quotes in the future, they can be associated to a different account than your previous quotes.
When you create an AWS account, you must accept the AWS Customer Agreement. This agreement is for the AWS Management Console. It's separate from the AWS Elemental Appliances and Software Agreement, which governs your AWS Elemental purchases. The AWS Management Console provides you with a streamlined buying experience on the same platform as the cloud-based AWS services.
If you do not have an AWS account, complete the following steps to create one.
To sign up for an AWS account
Open https://portal.aws.amazon.com/billing/signup
. Follow the online instructions.
Part of the sign-up procedure involves receiving a phone call or text message and entering a verification code on the phone keypad.
When you sign up for an AWS account, an AWS account root user is created. The root user has access to all AWS services and resources in the account. As a security best practice, assign administrative access to a user, and use only the root user to perform tasks that require root user access.
