AWS Automatic Connection
Last updated
Use this method to quickly connect a single AWS account.
The AWS CloudFormation template automatically creates the IAM role and permissions required for OX to securely access your AWS environment and collect cloud security findings. This is the recommended connection method for most deployments.
Sign in to the AWS Management Console.
In OX, on the AWS connector page, select CloudFormation Assume Role.
On the Create stack page:
Select both acknowledgment checkboxes.
Select Create stack.
Wait for the stack deployment to complete.
Open the Outputs tab.
Copy the OxRoleArn value.
Note
If a CloudFormation stack named ox-security already exists, specify a different stack name. Otherwise, the deployment fails because the stack name must be unique.
In OX, go to Settings > Connectors.
Select AWS.

In the AWS Role ARN field, paste the OxRoleArn value.
Select Connect.
Verify that the connector status changes to Connected.
