Amazon Cloud allows users to try WeBWorK for free for a year. After that year the cost is 6 cents per hour of actual use.
Getting your Amazon Cloud Account
1. Go to Amazon EC2 and create an account. Fill in your login credentials | ![]() |
2. Go to Amazon Web Services signup | ![]() |
3. Enter payment information. You may be charged a penny to validate your credit card information, but no real charges will occur until a year from signup. | |
4. Amazon will verify your identity by phone, so make sure you have a phone or cell-phone nearby. Once you start the initialization, you will be asked to enter a PIN via the phone. This completes the verification. |
Getting WeBWorK
- Review the information and click launch
- Wait for the Instance to be loaded. Next click on select. Note the URL at the bottom of the page and go to this URL. You will need to append "/webwork2" to the address. The URL should look like: ec2-xx-xx-xxx-xxx.compute-1/webwork2
