Onboard Your AWS Access Account in Controller

You can onboard an AWS account to your Aviatrix Controller from the Controller UI.

You need to deploy a separate Controller to use AWS China.

  1. In your Controller, navigate to Onboarding in the left sidebar, and then click on the AWS icon.

    Click AWS Icon

  2. Enter your AWS account’s Customer ID.

    This Customer ID was emailed to you when you subscribed to the license. If you do not have a Customer ID, please contact Aviatrix Support.

  3. Skip the Enter Certificate Domain field, which is only relevant for AWS China accounts.

  4. Under Create Primary Access Account - AWS, enter:

    • Account Name: A name for this account. Note that this name is only used within your Controller and does not need to match the name or ID from your AWS account.

    • AWS Account Number: Enter your 12-digit Account ID. To find this Account ID, open your AWS account and click on the dropdown menu in the top right corner. Select Account. Your Account ID is listed at the top of the page under Account Settings.

    • IAM role-based: Mark the Use IAM Roles checkbox.

      If you leave this checkbox unmarked, use the ARN values in the optional fields in this section to set up user roles. ARN values are only required if you are onboarding an account that is separate from the one from which you deployed the Controller.

  5. Click Create to finish onboarding your AWS account.

  6. Verify your email address at Settings > Controller.

  7. Enter the verification code sent to your email address.

    You can now use advanced settings to configure your IAM roles, launch gateways, and build a single- or multicloud network architecture.
