Role Deployment

CloudRunr automates cross-account role deployment using AWS CloudFormation (CFN) and, more specifically, "quick-create links." These links enable CloudRunr to pass a CFN template along with user-specific parameters, such as the cross-account role, external ID, CloudRunr ID etc.

Users only need to click the quick-create link and then click "deploy" to have the role deployed to their AWS account. The CFN templates are stored publicly, allowing users to review them before agreeing to the deployment:

Read-only role

(you can read more about these roles in the previous article, here)

During deployment, after role creation, a list of properties is sent to CloudRunr's management account:

CloudRunr ID

Cross-account role ARN

CloudRunr external ID

User's account ID

These properties are stored in CloudRunr's database. Lastly, we offer manual role deployment for customers who cannot work with CloudFormation.
