Sign up for Amazon (new)
Warning
We're currently releasing our new experience to a limited number of customers. You might not be able to access this experience yet.
When you use Sign up for Amazon (new), you create a preconfigured Amazon environment that lets you use a login that you already own like Google or GitHub to access your Amazon resources. Your resources are organized in projects. A project contains an Amazon Web Services account and settings for sharing with other collaborators. If you use the paid plan, your project can also have a set monthly pre-tax cost, called a spend limit. All of the projects you own make up your organization. You manage your organization, access your projects, and add collaborators in Amazon Settings.
When you sign up for Amazon using Sign up for Amazon (new), Amazon also creates a Amazon Builder ID account, which is a personal profile that represents you as an individual. You can only have one Amazon Builder ID for each email address. If you've created a Amazon Builder ID but have not created an Amazon Web Services account, you might have some settings already made for you and you'll have to modify those later.

When you sign up for Amazon, we might request payment information. Our verification process holds USD $1 (or equivalent) for 3-5 days to verify your account and prevent fraud. You will not incur charges until you upgrade to a paid plan. You can manage your payment method or close your accounts at any time through Amazon Settings. In addition, when you sign up for Amazon, you might be ineligible for the Free Tier. In that case, you'll need to provide your payment information, and you'll be placed on the Paid Plan. When you're on the Paid Plan, you can set spend limits to operate within a predictable and controlled budget.
Sign up for Amazon (new) supports using Google, GitHub, Apple, or Amazon for your account. If you're already signed into a Google account in your browser, that account will be used when you sign up for Amazon.
