      • Copy the External ID in Cloudaware

      • Create a stack in the Alibaba ROS Console using the RAM template and External ID from Cloudaware

    • RAM User

      • Create a user in the RAM Console

      • Copy the user access key

  2. Add the Alibaba account to Cloudaware:

    • RAM Role: use the RAM Role ARN

    • RAM User: use the user access key and secret

For detailed instructions, refer to the guidelines below.

Add Alibaba Cloud Account

Using RAM Role (Recommended)

This option allows adding an Alibaba Cloud account to Cloudaware with a pre-generated template for RAM role creation. The template simplifies the creation of stack and RAM user in Resource Orchestration Service (ROS) in Alibaba Cloud.

  1. Log in to Cloudaware → Admin.

  2. Find Alibaba Cloud. Click +ADD.

  3. Fill out the form:

    Alibaba Cloud - using RAM role - the integration form.png

    WHERE
    Account Name – provide a meaningful Alibaba Cloud account name
    Authentification Type – select 'RAM Role'
    Trusted Account – Cloudaware Alibaba Cloud account ID that is auto-populated in the template (copy the trusted account ID only if the Cloudaware RAM role will be created manually in Alibaba Cloud)
    External ID – generate External ID and save it for further setup in Alibaba

    Click TEMPLATE to download the Cloudaware template. Open the file in a text editor.

  4. Log in to the ROS console in Alibaba Cloud. Go to Templates → My Templates → Create template.

  5. In the section 'Edit template', paste the code of the downloaded Cloudaware template. Click Save Template.

  6. In the section 'Actions' for the created template, click Create Stack.

  7. In the section 'Access', insert the saved External ID in the AccessExternalId field. Click Create.

  8. Select the tab 'Resources'. Click on the role CloudAwareRamRole. Copy the Role ARN.

  9. Go back to Cloudaware. Paste the RAM Role ARN in the integration form:

    Click CHECK. Once the validation is passed, click SAVE.

  10. A green light in the ‘Status’ column indicates a successful configuration. If the light is red, contact support@cloudaware.com.

Using Access Keys

This option allows adding an Alibaba Cloud account to Cloudaware with user access key and secret.

  1. Log in to Cloudaware → Admin.

  2. Find Alibaba Cloud. Click +ADD.

  3. Fill out the form:

    Alibaba Cloud - using Access keys - the integration form.png .png

    WHERE
    Name – Alibaba Cloud account name
    Authentification Type – select 'Access Keys'
    Access Key ID – the RAM user’s access key ID
    Access Key Secret – the RAM user’s access key secret


    Click CHECK. Once the validation is passed, click SAVE.

  4. A green light in the ‘Status’ column indicates a successful configuration. If the light is red, contact support@cloudaware.com.
