Abstract

Follow the AWS onboarding wizard, and Cortex Cloud creates a custom authentication template to be executed in GCP.

Use the cloud onboarding wizard to integrate an Amazon Web Services (AWS) environment with Cortex Cloud. The onboarding wizard requires minimal configuration to set up the integration. To complete the minimum configuration, define the scope of the AWS accounts and specify the scan mode. Alternatively, configure the advanced settings for full control of the onboarding process.

Cortex Cloud generates a CloudFormation template based on the configuration settings. The template establishes trust with AWS and creates the required resources. Execute the template in AWS to complete the onboarding process. Executing the template notifies Cortex Cloud of the execution details. Cortex Cloud then creates a new cloud instance.
