New AWS Onboarding

As of InsightCloudSec version 23.4.11, a new AWS onboarding experience is available. This experience will replace the old setup experience and you will not be able to access it. Review AWS - Onboarding for more details on the new experience.

As usual, if you have issues or need support reach out to us through the Customer Support Portal with any questions.

After InsightCloudSec is successfully installed, you're ready to start harvesting resources from your target cloud accounts. This documentation details configuring your Government Cloud (GovCloud) environments to "talk" with InsightCloudSec securely. Review the sections below to determine the best starting point for your environment.

How do I start seeing my GovCloud environment(s) in InsightCloudSec?

InsightCloudSec relies on a process called "harvesting" to pull data from various CSPs. Currently, InsightCloudSec only offers setup instructions for a single cloud account in AWS GovCloud. Review AWS Cloud - Onboarding for details.

Can customers running InsightCloudSec in GovCloud (self-hosted) harvest commercial account data/resources?

AWS GovCloud

Yes, however, customers must use a STS assume role operation instead of a traditional assume role. API calls cannot be made between AWS partitions (commercial/GovCloud/China) until a cross-partition STS assume role operation has been performed.
