For some of the chapters of this book - namely chapters 12 and later - you will need an AWS account with set up billing.
We are also recommending to add 2FA right after you finish creating your account
Warning: a lot of resources are free-tier eligible, but some, like NAT Gateway, will be paid by the hour and data transfer.
