Service: sagemaker · 2026-10-21 · Documentation low

File: sagemaker/latest/dg/edge-getting-started-step1.md

Summary

Updated getting-started step 1 to present the two AWS sign-up options (advanced sign-up for full control/regulated workloads, simplified sign-up using an existing login).

Security assessment

This is an account-creation onboarding wording/link update only. It does not describe or alter any security mechanism, so it carries no direct security implication.

Evidence

+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)](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/accounts/latest/reference/getting-started.html). 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](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/accounts/latest/reference/project-regions.html), use [Sign up for AWS](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/accounts/latest/reference/sign-in-new.html).
