Setting up Amazon Personalize
Before using Amazon Personalize, you must have an Amazon Web Services (AWS) account with an administrative user. After you set up the required permissions, you can access Amazon Personalize through the Amazon Personalize console, the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI), or the AWS SDKs.

Sign up for an AWS account
To get started with AWS, you need an AWS account. There are two ways to sign up for AWS. If you want complete control over account configuration and where your content is stored, or if you have regulated workloads such as HIPAA or FedRAMP, use Sign up for AWS (advanced). If you are a new user and want to use a login you already own to sign in to AWS and create an AWS environment with preconfigured defaults in select AWS Regions, use Sign up for AWS.
Regions and endpoints
An endpoint is a URL that is the entry point for a web service. Each endpoint is associated with a specific AWS region. Pay attention to the default regions of the Amazon Personalize console, the AWS CLI, and the Amazon Personalize SDKs, as all Amazon Personalize components of a given campaign (dataset, solution, campaign, event tracker) must be created in the same region. For the regions and endpoints supported by Amazon Personalize, see Regions and endpoints.
