Before you can use the AWS Resilience Hub, you must complete the following prerequisites:
-
AWS accounts – Create one or more AWS accounts for each account type (primary/secondary/resource accounts) you want use within AWS Resilience Hub. For more information about creating and managing AWS accounts, see the following:
First time AWS user – Getting started: Are you a first-time AWS user?
Managing AWS account – https://docs.aws.amazon.com/accounts/latest/reference/managing-accounts.html
-
AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) permissions – After creating the AWS accounts, you must configure the required roles and IAM permissions for each of the accounts you have created. For example, if you have created an AWS account to access application resources, you must setup a new role and configure the necessary IAM permissions for AWS Resilience Hub to access the application resources from your account. To learn more about IAM permissions, see How AWS Resilience Hub works with IAM and for more information about adding a policy to the role, see Defining trust policy using JSON file.
To get started quickly with adding IAM permissions to users, groups, and roles, you can use our AWS managed policies (AWS managed policies for AWS Resilience Hub). It is easier to use AWS managed policies to cover common use cases that are available in your AWS account than to write policies yourself. AWS Resilience Hub adds additional permissions to an AWS managed policy to extend support to other AWS services and to include new features. Hence:
-
If you are an existing customer and if you want your application to use the latest enhancements within your assessment, you must publish a new version of the application and then run a new assessment. For more information, see the following topics:
-
If you are not using AWS managed policies to assign appropriate IAM permissions to users, groups, and roles, you must manually configure these permissions. For more information about AWS managed policies, see AWSResilienceHubAsssessmentExecutionPolicy.
