IAM Role Manual Setup
To set up an Identity and Access Management (IAM) role, consider using the CloudFormation Template that greatly simplifies creation of the role. However, if you prefer to create the role manually, you can do so.
About This Task
To set up an AWS integration in Virtana Platform using the IAM Role, you must complete tasks in both the AWS Console and in Virtana Platform.
After creating your IAM role, wait 2-5 minutes for AWS to finalize its creation before proceeding to the next steps. This ensures the new role has the correct S3 access permissions when added to Virtana Platform.
You can view a list of permissions granted by the IAM role.
Prerequisites
You must have administrator access to both the Virtana Platform and the AWS consoles.
You must have enabled Cost Explorer and created a Cost and Usage Report in AWS.
Tip
If you already have an existing IAM role for Virtana Platform but it does not include in-line policies for Cost Explorer or Cost and Usage Reports, you only need to add the policies to the IAM role.
