AWS Setup Script

Setup the IAM User, Roles and Policies and register the IAM User in gopaddle

AWS Setup Script

The setup script creates an IAM user, role and assigns required permissions to use the AWS Services in gopaddle platform. It then registers the newly created IAM User Credentials in gopaddle.

You can choose to execute the steps manually. The script can be downloaded from https://gp-quickstart.s3.amazonaws.com/gp-aws-init.sh

The script assigns fine-grained permissions to the newly created IAM User based on the region and the services selected.
