Before you use AWS IoT Core for the first time, complete the tasks in this section.

You can expect to spend about 5 minutes setting up your AWS account.

If you already have an AWS account, you can skip ahead to Open the AWS IoT console.

Sign up for an AWS account

To get started with AWS, you need an AWS account. For information about creating an AWS account, see Getting started with an AWS account in the AWS Account Management Reference Guide.

Most of the console-oriented topics in this section start from the AWS IoT console. If you aren't already signed in to your AWS account, sign in, then open the AWS IoT console and continue to the next section to continue getting started with AWS IoT.
