AWS activate credits

The AWS Activate program provides startups with the resources they need to quickly get started on AWS - including credits, training and support.

AWS has enabled on-demand delivery of computing power, data storage and other technology services via the internet with pay-as-you-go pricing. AWS offers over 175 building blocks (services) that startups can use to build their project faster and with a lower cost.

AWS Activate is a free programme designed specifically for startups. Activate provides resources, training and other perks to help startups grow and get the most out of AWS and Amazon from day one.
