If your view looks different, visit [Navigate the Snyk Web UI](https://docs.snyk.io/navigate-the-snyk-web-ui#where-things-moved) to map these options to the new interface. {% endhint %} ## Getting started with cloud scans Use Snyk IaC cloud scans to find, view, and fix issues in deployed cloud resource configurations for AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. This page explains using cloud scans in the Snyk Web UI. For information about using cloud scans with the Snyk CLI, see [Test your IaC files](https://docs.snyk.io/developer-tools/snyk-cli/scan-and-maintain-projects-using-the-cli/snyk-cli-for-iac/test-your-iac-files). ### Prerequisites for cloud scans To start using cloud scans you must have the following: * A Snyk account. For details, see [Getting started](https://docs.snyk.io/getting-started-guides/getting-started#create-or-log-in-to-a-snyk-account). * Snyk IaC on the enterprise plan. * An existing Terraform, CloudFormation, or Azure Resource Manager environment to work in, or deployed AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud account to onboard. ### Import cloud environments Navigate to your **Organization** **Settings** > **Cloud environments**. To add a cloud environment, select the **Add environment** drop-down and select the cloud provider. Follow the steps in [AWS Integration: Web UI](/scan-fix-and-prevent/scan-with-snyk/snyk-iac/cloud-platform-integrations/aws-integration/aws-integration-web-ui.md), [Google Cloud Integration: Web UI](/scan-fix-and-prevent/scan-with-snyk/snyk-iac/cloud-platform-integrations/google-cloud-integration/google-cloud-integration-web-ui.md), or [Azure Integration: Web UI](/scan-fix-and-prevent/scan-with-snyk/snyk-iac/cloud-platform-integrations/azure-integration-for-cloud-configurations/azure-integration-web-ui.md) to create the environment. You can also add an environment using the Snyk API: * [AWS Integration: API](/scan-fix-and-prevent/scan-with-snyk/snyk-iac/cloud-platform-integrations/aws-integration/aws-integration-api.md) * [Google Cloud Integration: API](/scan-fix-and-prevent/scan-with-snyk/snyk-iac/cloud-platform-integrations/google-cloud-integration/google-cloud-integration-api.md) * [Azure Integration: API](/scan-fix-and-prevent/scan-with-snyk/snyk-iac/cloud-platform-integrations/azure-integration-for-cloud-configurations/azure-integration-api.md) ### View cloud issues To view your cloud issues in the Snyk Web UI, navigate to the Organization, and on the menu, select **Cloud**. For more information, see [View cloud issues in the Snyk Web UI](/scan-fix-and-prevent/scan-with-snyk/snyk-iac/getting-started-with-cloud-scans/manage-cloud-issues/view-cloud-issues-in-the-snyk-web-ui.md). --- # 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/getting-started-with-cloud-scans.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.
