Add Multiple AWS Accounts From a CSV File

As a cloud administrator or a cloud account owner, you can onboard multiple AWS accounts by using a CSV file in the Carbon Black Cloud console.

Prerequisites

• If it is not present, use the AWS Management Console to create the IAM ARN role for establishing a trust relationship between your Carbon Black Cloud account and the AWS account.
• Make sure that you have the IAM role ARN of the AWS account available. You can access the Role ARN from the role's Summary page in the AWS Management Console.
• Have the 12-digit account ID available for the AWS account that you are about to onboard. To access the account ID, see Find your AWS account ID (external link).

Procedure

1. On the left navigation pane, go to Settings > Public Cloud Accounts.
2. On the Public Cloud Accounts page, click Add Account.
   The Add Public Cloud Account window displays.
3. Select AWS under Cloud Provider and Multiple accounts via CSV upload under Method, then click Next.
4. Upload a CSV file with the AWS accounts details and the connectivity credential attributes.
   You can create the CSV file by using the available for download template.
5. To save the information and connect to the accounts, click Add Accounts.
