Allowing autodiscovery of AWS resources - Amazon Quick Suite

Allowing autodiscovery of AWS resources

   Applies to: Enterprise Edition and Standard Edition 
   Intended audience: System administrators 

Each AWS service that you access from Amazon Quick Suite needs to allow traffic from Quick Suite. Instead of opening each service console separately to add permissions, a Quick Suite administrator can do this in the administration screen. Before you begin, make sure that you have addressed the following prerequisites.

If you choose to enable autodiscovery of AWS resources for your Quick Suite account, Quick Suite creates an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role in your AWS account. This IAM role grants your account permission to identify and retrieve data from your AWS data sources.

Because AWS limits the number of IAM roles that you can create, make sure that you have at least one free role. You need this role for Amazon Quick Suite to use if you want Amazon Quick Suite to autodiscover your AWS resources.

You can have Amazon Quick Suite autodiscover Amazon RDS DB instances or Amazon Redshift clusters that are associated with your AWS account. These resources must be located in the same AWS Region as your Amazon Quick Suite account.

If you choose to enable autodiscovery, choose one of the following options to make the AWS resource accessible:

Enabling autodiscovery is the easiest way to make this data available in Amazon Quick Suite. You can still manually create data connections whether or not you enable autodiscovery.
