Ensuring a Smooth AWS Integration with Drata: Tips & Tricks

Hello, Drata Community!

Are you setting up your AWS integration and want to make sure it goes off without a hitch? You're in the right place! We've compiled some best practices to help ensure your integration process is as smooth as possible.

Verifying Your IAM Roles

Before you begin, double-check your IAM roles and policies. Make sure that the roles you've created for Drata have the appropriate permissions and that they're correctly attached. A common mistake is not setting up the trust relationship properly, so pay special attention to that.

API Keys and Security Tokens

Keep your API keys and security tokens up to date. Expired tokens are a frequent cause of integration issues. Remember, if you're using temporary security credentials in AWS, they will expire, so consider using long-term credentials for a hassle-free experience.

Time Synchronization

Ensure that your server's time is in sync with AWS time. A time mismatch can lead to token validation errors. An NTP service can help keep your server time accurate.
