To successfully onboard an AWS account into the NC2 console, the administrator must deploy a specific CloudFormation stack that establishes the necessary trust relationship and permissions. This process is highly sensitive as it involves the creation of IAM roles that allow Nutanix to orchestrate AWS resources.
Consequently, the user executing this script must possessIAMFullAccessto create and modify these security identities andAWSCloudFormationFullAccessto manage the lifecycle of the stack itself. Without these high- level administrative permissions, the deployment will fail, preventing NC2 from obtaining the " secret " keys and roles required to launch bare-metal instances. This one-time setup is fundamental to the security architecture of the hybrid cloud environment.
