Sign up for Amazon Web Services

An Amazon Web Services account is a fundamental requirement for accessing Amazon services. Your Amazon Web Services account is the basic container for all of the Amazon resources you create as an Amazon user. Your Amazon Web Services account is also the basic security boundary for your Amazon resources. Any resources that you create in your account are available to users who have credentials for the account. Before you can start using Amazon Storage Gateway, you need to sign up for an Amazon Web Services account.

If you do not have an Amazon Web Services account, use the following procedure to create one.

To sign up for Amazon Web Services

  1. Open http://www.amazonaws.cn/ and choose Sign Up.

  2. Follow the on-screen instructions.

We also recommend that you require your users to use temporary credentials when accessing Amazon. To provide temporary credentials, you can use federation and an identity provider, such as Amazon IAM Identity Center. If your company already uses an identity provider, you can use it with federation to simplify how you provide access to the resources in your Amazon account.
