On Demand Cloud Connect - AWS prerequisites


This section discusses the AWS prerequisites for using Evolution platform Cloud connect.

Here are the prerequisites:

  • Register an application with AWS IAM Identity Center
  • Assign a role to the application.

Prerequisite 1 : Register an Application in AWS IAM Identity Center​

On Demand Cloud Connect running uses AWS APIs to access and create resources such as a Virtual Network Gateway. To perform this, On Demand Cloud connect is represented as an application registered within IAM Identity Center.

To register an application with an associated client secret please refer to AWS documentation:

  • Application-specific settings with app clients - Amazon Cognito

When you have completed this prerequisite 1, you will have all two of the credentials needed to configure an AWS Cloud Credentials within Evolution platform Cloud connect:

  • apiKey
  • Secret Key (the Value of the Secret ID)

Prerequisite 2 : Assign an AWS Role with the help of the AWS portal​

Once you have registered the application, you must also grant the application the necessary permissions within AWS IAM Identity Center to access and/or create resources within your AWS subscription. This is done through the assignment of roles to the service principal representing the application.

To grant the application the necessary permissions within AWS IAM Identity please refer to AWS documentation:
