AWS Prerequisites

Before you begin using Konvoy with AWS, you must:

1. Follow the steps to create permissions and roles on the Minimal Permissions and Role to Create Clusters page.

2. Create Cluster IAM Policies and Roles.

3. Export the AWS region where you want to deploy the cluster:

   CODE

   export AWS_REGION=us-west-2

4. Export the AWS profile with the credentials you want to use to create the Kubernetes cluster:

   CODE

   export AWS_PROFILE=<profile>

If using AWS ECR as your local private registry, more information can be found on the Registry Mirror Tools page.

To deploy a cluster with a custom image in a region where CAPI images are not provided, you need to use Konvoy Image Builder to create your own image for the region.

For multi-tenancy, every tenant should be in a different AWS account to ensure they are truly independent of other tenants in order to enforce security.
