Technical requirements
No hands-on experience in a language such as Python or R is necessary to follow along with the content of this chapter. However, we highly recommend that you follow along in the AWS console, where you can access the Amazon Lookout for Equipment service.
If you already have an AWS account, you can connect to the AWS console, click on the search bar at the top, and enter Lookout for Equipment
in the Services section. Then, click on Amazon Lookout for Equipment to bring up the landing page of the service console.
If you don't have an AWS account, you will need to create one before you can log in to your console. To create an AWS account and log in to the Amazon Forecast console, please refer to the Technical requirements section of Chapter 2, An Overview of Amazon Forecast.
Now you are ready to use Amazon Lookout for Equipment!
