AWS Integration: API

How to set up the Snyk AWS integration using the API

Before you can onboard an AWS account to Snyk via the API, you need access to the AWS account and associated credentials with permissions to create a read-only Identity and Access Management (IAM) role. See the prerequisites on the AWS integration page.

The steps follow to onboard an AWS account via the API:

1. Download an infrastructure as code (IaC) template: to give Snyk permissions to scan your account.

2. Create an AWS IAM role: using the template you downloaded.

3. Create and scan a Cloud Environment.

When you have completed the steps, you will be able to do the following:

• View the cloud configuration issues Snyk finds. See Manage cloud issues.

• Prioritize your vulnerabilities with cloud context.
