Configuring your AWS cloud account

Configure cloudkit with your Amazon Web Services (AWS) credentials to perform cloud provisioning operations.

Prerequisites

The following prerequisites must be met before you run the cloudkit configure command:

Create an account in AWS, if you do not already have one.
Create access keys. Access keys consist of two parts, an access key ID and a secret access key.

Configuration of cloudkit

To configure cloudkit, issue the following command:

./cloudkit configure

Note: If the cloudkit is installed on cloudVM, configure is not required.

AWS example:

# ./cloudkit configure
I: Logging at /root/scale-cloudkit/logs/cloudkit-10-9-2023_8-28-13.log
? Cloud platform name:  AWS
? AWS Access Key ID:  [? for help] ********************
