Setting up and accessing your AWS account

At this point, you most likely have an AWS account to work with; nevertheless, you may only have access through your workplace, where some of the permissions are restricted, so you would not be able to practice all of the skills that you need to feel confident in passing the DevOps professional exam.

If you don't already have a personal account for testing things, then this would be the perfect time to set one up. Even if you do have an account, you may want to take the time to set up a new account just for the exam to ensure that you are allowed to take advantage of the free tier (allocated for your first year in AWS) on a number of the provided services.

If you do already have an account, making the switch to AWS Organizations, especially using Control Tower, is an excellent exercise if you wish to create service control policies, organizational units, Single Sign-On (SSO), and cross-account roles.
