AWS Authentication

LaunchFlow uses your local AWS credentials to manage and provision resources. We recommend using the AWS CLI to authenticate with your AWS account.

AWS User Credentials

1. Create an IAM user in the AWS console
2. Create security credentials for your IAM user
3. Configure the AWS CLI with your IAM user credentials by running the following command:

1
aws configure
content_copy

SSO Credentials

You can also setup AWS SSO to authenticate with your AWS account. This method is more complicated to setup but is more secure because no long-term credentials are stored on your machine.

Verify Credentials

At any time you can run the following command to verify that you are authenticated with AWS:

1
aws sts get-caller-identity
content_copy
