Setting up Amazon Polly
Before you use Amazon Polly for the first time, you must sign up for Amazon. When you
sign up for Amazon Web Services (Amazon), your Amazon account is automatically signed up for all
services in Amazon, including Amazon Polly. You're charged only for the services and resources
that you use. If you're a new Amazon customer, you can get started with Amazon Polly with no
charge. For more information, see Amazon Free Usage
Tier
If you already have an Amazon account, you can move on to either of the following activities:
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
Open http://www.amazonaws.cn/
and choose Sign Up. Follow the on-screen instructions.
Amazon sends you a confirmation email after the sign-up process is
complete. At any time, you can view your current account activity and manage your account by
going to http://www.amazonaws.cn/
Secure IAM users
After you sign up for an Amazon Web Services account, safeguard your administrative user by turning on multi-factor authentication (MFA). For instructions, see Enable a virtual MFA device for an IAM user (console) in the IAM User Guide.
To give other users access to your Amazon Web Services account resources, create IAM users. To secure your IAM users, turn on MFA and only give the IAM users the permissions needed to perform their tasks.
For more information about creating and securing IAM users, see the following topics in the IAM User Guide:
