Step 1: Download IAM role IaC template (Web UI)
Before you can create a Snyk Cloud Environment, you must download an Infrastructure as Code (IaC) template declaring a read-only Identity & Access Management (IAM) role that Snyk can assume to scan the configuration of resources in your Amazon Web Services (AWS) account.
You can choose the template format: either Terraform HCL or AWS CloudFormation. The IAM permissions are identical in both, so pick the format you are most comfortable working with.

- 3.On the Add AWS Environment modal, select the Terraform button to download a
snyk-permissions-aws.tf
