You can onboard an AWS account to Snyk using the following methods: * [Snyk Web UI](/scan-fix-and-prevent/scan-with-snyk/snyk-iac/cloud-platform-integrations/aws-integration/aws-integration-web-ui.md) * [Snyk API](/scan-fix-and-prevent/scan-with-snyk/snyk-iac/cloud-platform-integrations/aws-integration/aws-integration-api.md) To set up an AWS integration, you need the following: * A Snyk Enterprise [plan](https://snyk.io/plans/) * A new Snyk Organization, with appropriate feature flags assigned by your Snyk contact * A Snyk Group Administrator or Organization Administrator [role](https://docs.snyk.io/platform-administration/user-management/pre-defined-roles) * Access to an [AWS](https://aws.amazon.com/) account and associated credentials with permissions to create a read-only IAM role * Access to the [Terraform CLI](https://www.terraform.io/downloads), [AWS CLI](https://aws.amazon.com/cli/), or [AWS Management Console](https://console.aws.amazon.com) to create the IAM role for Snyk via Terraform or AWS CloudFormation * If you are using Terraform or the AWS CLI, ensure you configure it with your AWS credentials. See the instructions for [Terraform](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/aws/latest/docs#authentication-and-configuration) or the [AWS CLI](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-configure-quickstart.html) * API only: An Organization-level [service account](https://docs.snyk.io/platform-administration/service-accounts/service-accounts) with an Org Admin role to use the Snyk API * API only: An API client such as [curl](https://curl.se/), [HTTPie](https://httpie.io/), or [Postman](https://www.postman.com/) --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.snyk.io/scan-fix-and-prevent/scan-with-snyk/snyk-iac/cloud-platform-integrations/aws-integration.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
