Through USM Anywhere you can generate the Amazon Web Service (AWS) Suite of cloud computing services from Amazon that make up an on-demand computing platform. CloudFormation templates that you need to begin gathering data from your Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) buckets or AWS Inventory. See Downloading an Existing AWS Cloud Connector Template for more information.

To upload an AWS CloudFormation template

1. Open your AWS Management Console page, and then go to CloudFormation.

2. Click Create Stack > With new resources (standard).

3. Select Upload a Template File, and then click Choose File to select the template you have downloaded from USM Anywhere.

   

4. Click Next.

5. In the Stack Name text box, enter a name for your stack.

6. Use the bucketArns field to enter the Amazon S3 buckets' names where you currently store security logs.
   This step is not required when uploading a template for AWS Inventory.

   There are two options:

   • Enter the existing Amazon S3 bucket Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) that contain the logs you would like to monitor. You can enter several ARNs separated by commas.

     Important: If you choose this option, you must enable the event notifications. See To enable the event notifications for Amazon S3 buckets you have selected for more information.

   • Leave this field empty and a new Amazon S3 bucket will be automatically created.

   

   Note: If you later decide to enter new or additional Amazon S3 buckets, you can come here and add them.

7. Click Next.

8. (Optional.) If your organization requires tags, you may enter them at this point. You can also leave them blank.

9. Click I Acknowledge that AWS CloudFormation Might Create IAM Resources with Custom Names.

10. Click Create Stack.
