AWS

Step 1:

Click on your Username in the top right Menu and then click on My Security Credentials from the Menu.

Step 2:

Click on Users from the left sidebar menu then Create new User and follow the wizard steps.

Once your user is created, click on it and open Security Credentials Tab.

Generate a new Access Key along with its token.

Both the key and the Token will be used so that SOAJS Console can communicate with AWS and deploy your infrastructure.

Click on Policies then click on Create New Policy, select JSON view and copy the content of the box below inside the JSON editor on aws.

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Sid": "VisualEditor0",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "ec2:*",
                "elasticloadbalancing:*",
                "cloudwatch:*",
                "autoscaling:*",
                "route53domains:*",
                "lambda:*",
                "route53:*",
                "resource-groups:*",
                "cloudformation:*",
                "tag:*",
                "eks:*",
                "ssm:*",
                "sqs:*",
                "s3:*",
                "sns:*",
                "acm:*",
                "iam:*",
                "dynamodb:*",
                "dax:*",
                "application-autoscaling:*",
                "datapipeline:*"
            ],
            "Resource": "*"
        }
    ]
}

Name your policy and add a description to it then assign it to your user:

• Go back to Users tab, click on the username
• Under Permissions, select add permissions and choose the policy you created.

Step 3:

Create role(s) with SSM Access allowing SOAJS to execute commands in Created Virtual Machines.

The role is not needed when connecting AWS as a provider BUT the role is mandatory when creating virtual machines using this provider.
