AWS Setup

AWS in the current product uses the cloud integration flow under Settings -> Integrations -> Cloud. At the moment, the exposed UI path is the manual credential flow. Create a dedicated read-only IAM user for Cloudgeni:
aws iam create-user --user-name cloudgeni-readonly

aws iam attach-user-policy \
  --user-name cloudgeni-readonly \
  --policy-arn arn:aws:iam::aws:policy/ReadOnlyAccess

aws iam create-access-key --user-name cloudgeni-readonly
Enter the resulting access key pair in the AWS integration form.

After Connect

Once the integration is active:
  1. Open the AWS integration detail page
  2. Trigger a sync or scan
  3. Use the result in one of two ways

What To Verify

  • The integration becomes active
  • A resource sync succeeds
  • Findings or resource inventory appear where expected
