It's time for a [DOITYOURSELF] lesson.

1 - if you are using the free plan account, skip this step, you won't be able to create another production account. Don't worry, most of the course is doable with only the one single AWS account ( the GENERAL account).

2 - even if you are using the PAID AWS account plan, you can optionally skip creating this additional AWS account and use the one single (GENERAL) AWS Account.

3 - if you are using the PAID plan, you CAN create a brand new AWS account (the PRODUCTION Account) in the same way you created the GENERAL AWS account. You will need a unique email address for the account root user.

4 - You will need to add MFA to the account root user of the PRODUCTION Account.

5 - you will need to create an "iamadmin" IAM user within the PRODUCTION Account in the same way you did for the GENERAL account and add MFA to that user.

Again, don't worry if you are using the free plan account, you will be fine to just use the single AWS account (GENERAL). If you are using a paid account, feel free to skip this additional AWS account, or not.
