## What You Need to Know

Wraps deploys email infrastructure to _your_ AWS account. This means:

-   **You own your infrastructure**
    
    Everything runs in your account. No vendor lock-in.
    
-   **Pay AWS directly**
    
    Transparent pricing at $0.10 per 1,000 emails.
    
-   **We never store your credentials**
    
    Your AWS credentials are only used locally to set up infrastructure.
    

## Key Concepts

If you're new to AWS, here are the only concepts you need to understand:

AWS Account

Your billing account with Amazon. New accounts get $200 in AWS Free Tier credits, valid for 6 months.

IAM User

A "sub-account" for programmatic access. You create one with access keys for the CLI.

Access Keys

Like a username/password for the CLI. Consists of an Access Key ID and Secret Access Key.

Region

Where your infrastructure lives (e.g., us-east-1). Choose one close to your users.

## Already Set Up?

Run our diagnostics command to check if everything is configured correctly:

terminal.sh

```
npx @wraps.dev/cli aws doctor
```
