As shown in the diagram, the solution sets up the following:

  • In every account where the AWS CloudFormation template is deployed:
    • AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role with read permissions to various AWS services required by CloudCheckr.
    • AWS Lambda functions for creating and credentialing AWS accounts in CloudCheckr.
