Configuring AWS
AWS
Configure the
AWS
in VMware Aria
Operations
and optionally change its properties to customize the management
pack's operation. An Amazon Web Services account
has multiple types of credentials associated with the account. Sign-in
credentials are used to access the Amazon Web Services Web-based console, key
pairs are used to access EC2 instances, and access keys are used in the REST
API that Amazon Web Services exposes.
Because the AWS adapter is based
on the REST API, you must use access keys when you set up the adapter. You
generate access keys from the Amazon Web Services console. You can create
credentials on a per user basis. Access keys are not a username-password pair,
but a generated sequence of characters.
While it is not required, it is recommended that
you create a guest type account, which has a read-only access to Amazon Web Services,
and use the access keys associated with this account. When you create a guest group with
default permissions, they do not include read access to the Elastic Map Reduce (EMR)
service. You must use the IAM console to add the following permission:
