Deploy AUTOMATE+ to your first AWS Account - Deployment Steps

Open your preferred browser and log into the appropriate AWS account corrresponding with the intended AUTOMATE or AUTOMATE+ deployment. Ensure you do not have any other AWS Accounts open, Firefox has a feature called ‘containers’ ensure you do not an AWS account running in a different AWS Container, to make sure you close all other browser windows that contain active logins to additional AWS accounts.

After creating an account for the first time you will only have the option to "Deploy to a new AWS Account".

Ensure you are logged in to the AWS account with the appropriate IAM user and that the IAM role has sufficient privledges to deploy AUTOMATE+.

If you are returning to the portal to deploy an additional account, you will find deployment option under "Manage" as part of the main quickbar at the top of the screen inside the SaaS portal after you have logged in, then "Accounts", "Deploy to AWS Account"

Select your preferred deployment type:

With AUTOMATE+ all remediation/continuous compliance features are deployed to a read-only / alert-only state.

NO AUTOMATION IS TRIGGERED at time of deployment, auto-remediation needs to be enabled/configured by you.

Name your deployment, we recommend provide a name with a sequence that easily helps you understand which accounts you have connected when looking at them in a list. Otherwise when you look at your accounts in a list later with just the AWS account numbers and no easy reference, its unlikely to mean much to you in the future. For example: Orgname-Prod1-1

Select the region the AWS services that you wish to have visibility of are currently deployed into.

A new tab will open with a pre-filled CloudFormation stack (Important: please ensure that pop-ups and new tabs are allowed within your browser at least for the http://app.6pillars.ai portal) check the IAM acknowledgement checkbox at the bottom of the page and click Create Stack.

Hardening the Cross Account role

The final (automated) step of the deployment process is to harden the Cross-Account role, at this time all permissions are reduced to the minimum requirement.

AWS Cross Account Role & AWS IAM role requirements.
