In order to run IncrediBuild Cloud on AWS platform, you need to have the following:

...

Aws Account – when you connect to AWS platform during the IncrediBuild Cloud activation, you will need to enter your account credentials. During the activation, you can create a new AWS account or use an existing account.

...

• Policy – an Administrator Access policy. This means that the IAM user has an AdministratorAccess policy, or at least IAMFullAccess policy.
  Note: For activating IncrediBuild Cloud, these policies must include the createRole permission. By default, these policies include this permission, but if it was manually removed from them, you need to add a createRole policy to the IAM user. 
  You can find your current AWS policies in your user Summary page, on the Permissions tab:

• Access type - a Programmatic Access. This means that the user has valid Access Key ID and Secret Access Key.
  Note: If you want to login to IncrediBuild Cloud with a user who does not have an Access Key ID and a Secret Access Key, you can create them for the user in AWS portal. Take notice that the Secret Access Key is displayed only once during its creation. Therefore, it is recommended to download and save the .csv file that contains the Secret once it is created.
  

To activate IncrediBuild Cloud, you must have a user that has an Administrator Access policy and a Programmatic Access type. However, you can use these permissions in two ways in the activation procedure of IncrediBuild Cloud: 
- Sign into your AWS account with the user who has Administrator Access policy and a Programmatic Access type - in this case, you grant IncrediBuild the permissions to create a role on your behalf and set Incredibuild as a trusted account, and you will not need to provide any additional login details. IncrediBuild Cloud will automatically use these permissions to create and obtain the necessary login details for your organization.
- Sign into your AWS account with a user who has a more limited policy (this user still needs Key and Secret pair) - in this case, you grant IncrediBuild lower permissions, and you will need to provide additional login details during the solution activation procedure. These login details should be provided to you by a user in your organization who has an Administrator Access policy, and therefore can create and obtain the required details.
Note: To learn more about the login details you will need to provide, see Obtaining the Required AWS Login Details.

• Sufficient Core Quota for AWS Region – by default, each AWS region has a quota limit to the number of cores that can be used by the VMs that run on it. Before you activate IncrediBuild Cloud, you should find out what is this quota limit for your preferred region. If this quota limit is too low for your needs and you want more cores for the acceleration of your task execution, you need to increase the quota by sending a request to AWS support.
  For detailed information on increasing your quota limit, see AWS documentation:  https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ec2-resource-limits.html  https://docs.aws.amazon.com/servicequotas/latest/userguide/request-quota-increase.html

• [Optional] AWS Budget for IncrediBuild Cloud - you can create a budget in AWS Console to control and manage the costs involved in running IncrediBuild Cloud solution. This budget is set at the account level, and it includes alerts that are triggered when a certain percentage of the budget amount has been reached. When an alert is triggered, you receive an email notification about the current state of your budget. You can also set the alerts to preforms different actions on the solution, once a certain budget threshold is met or exceeded.
  In order to create a budget specific for IncrediBuild Cloud, you need to use the Tags option in the Settings page of IncrediBuild Cloud. Use the customized tags you define in the Settings page , to filter the budget you create on AWS Console .
