How to use your AWS access
- Open your private access link and select “Reveal AWS access”.
- Select “Open AWS console”. Sign in as an IAM user with the IAM username and console password shown. Enter the account ID if asked.
- Choose US East (N. Virginia), us-east-1. For EC2 and load balancers, select the existing Hackathon_VPC.
Your team’s $25 allowance is provided through this AWS login. No credit code, new AWS account or payment card is needed.
Account limits
- AWS Region
Use us-east-1 only. All other AWS regions are unavailable.
- Approved services
EC2, Lambda, IAM roles and load balancers only. You may create IAM roles and attach policies to them.
- VPC
Use only the pre-provisioned Hackathon_VPC in us-east-1. Create EC2 instances and load balancers inside it. You cannot create your own VPC.
- EC2 instance types
t2: t2.nano, t2.micro, t2.small, t2.medium, t2.large
t3: t3.nano, t3.micro, t3.small, t3.medium, t3.large
t3a: t3a.nano, t3a.micro, t3a.small, t3a.medium, t3a.large
- EC2 instance limit
One EC2 instance per supplied IAM user, shared by your team. Terminate the existing instance before launching a replacement. If you launch another first, AWS/Aivar automation will terminate the newly created instance.
- EBS volume limit
Each EBS volume must be 50 GB or less. Larger volumes cannot be created.
Stay within your team’s $25 allowance. Stop resources when finished. This page tracks access, not AWS spending.
