Create Deployment User for Automatic Deployment in AWS

For automatic deployment of resources in your AWS subscription, you need to provide information of an IAM deployment user associated with your AWS account. This user allows you to deploy and configure resources in your AWS cloud subscription using NCache Cloud Portal.

On the Automatic Deployment screen in front of you, you have a form that allows you to create a new IAM Deployment User in AWS. Follow these steps to create a new IAM deployment user.

Note

If you already have a IAM deployment user, then you can skip to the step where you associate that user with your subscription by clicking the Skip to Authorize Deployment User option. This will take you to the Authorize Deployment User tab.
