Issue/Introduction

In order for the platform to gather data the necessary read-only credentials to access information on your AWS infrastructure need to be provided.  Our service requires a single Identity and Access Management (IAM) user to be configured with least-privilege credentials for each Amazon account you want to monitor through the platform. 

We rely on the​ standard Amazon APIs, leveraging an Access Key and Secret key associated with the read-only IAM user to access data.
