Create connections

When you create a connection, you define how CloudFlow accesses your cloud resources. You can either:

• Create from existing permissions: Reuse the existing permissions for AWS accounts or GCP resources already connected to DoiT Cloud Intelligence. Select the connected AWS or GCP resources to import. You are the connection Owner. You can assign access to other DoiT users in Manage permissions.

• Create a new connection: Create an AWS or GCP connection, depending on the cloud resources your flow is accessing. Select this if you want to define scope, policies, and deploy IAM roles or service accounts for the connection. You can assign access to other DoiT users in User access.

  • Create an AWS connection

  • Create a GCP connection

Select Create connection from existing permissions when accounts or resources are already connected to DoiT Cloud Intelligence and you only need a connection for flows. Select Create connection when you need a dedicated CloudFlow IAM role or service account, custom scope (for example AWS organizational units), or separate policies.
