- Creating an AWS account requires an email address that is unique (across AWS). In the workshop, we will follow a convention for the email address to register multiple accounts as described below:
- choose Email (say,
mailbox@domain
) - choose Group (say,
group
)
- choose Email (say,
Account email address: mailbox+group-account@domain
For example, if you choose a base email address of "[email protected]", and a Group of "group", an account with name "publishing" will be created with email address "[email protected]"
- Create control accounts
