Setting up your Amazon AWS account
In order to use Cloud Machine Manager (CMM) with Amazon Web Services (AWS), it is necessary to configure a new user in AWS and provide it with the correct access permissions. Because Amazon has a sophisticated rights management system, these keys are configured to have the bare minimum of privileges to allow CMM to operate to prevent any risk to your servers.
