Introduction

To deploy with Stacktape, your organization must have an AWS account connected. This tutorial will guide you through the process of connecting your AWS account with Stacktape.

Prerequisites

You must have an AWS account to complete this tutorial. If you do not have an AWS account, you can create one here.

Step 1

After singing in to the stacktape console, navigate to the AWS accounts page.

Step 2 - Initiate Connection

Step 2.1

Click Connect your AWS account button

Step 2.2

1. Fill in Account name. This will identify your AWS account within your Stacktape organization.

2. Continue by clicking Connect Account in AWS Console button. This will redirect you to your AWS console.

Step 3 - Create Connection Stack

In the AWS console, you now need to create the connection stack. Connection stack is a set of resources that are necessary for connecting your AWS account to Stacktape.

Connection stack and its resources are free and do not incur any noticeable costs. The stack includes an S3 bucket for collecting cost reports (required for Stacktape cost analysis) and an IAM role that allows Stacktape access to your AWS account.

After you confirm the stack creation, you will see the stack being created. Stack creation generally takes around 1 minute.

After the connection stack is successfully created, your AWS account is connected to Stacktape. You should see the connected AWS Account marked ACTIVE in the stacktape console AWS accounts page
