Using Starburst Galaxy platform (SGP) requires you to configure your AWS account access for running the clusters.

Configure your AWS account #

You need to configure a cross-account role for your AWS account. This enables the SGP to deploy and manage Starburst clusters in your account.

Create a cross-account role using a cloud formation template (CFT) in the AWS management console.

3. Upload the Cloud formation template in your AWS console.
4. Copy the External ID from Starburst Galaxy and paste it in your AWS console.
5. Run the cloud formation template.

IMPORTANT: Copy the AWS Account ID where you created the role. You need it for the next steps.

1. Navigate back to Starburst Galaxy
2. In the AWS Account ID field, enter the AWS Account ID from the role you created.
