Create a IAM Role

AWS users should not use the AWS root user to create or manage clusters. Use an IAM user with the SingleStoreDB Cluster Management Role to deploy and manage clusters on AWS.

Here is the minimum required privilege IAM Policy needed for the SingleStoreDB Cluster Management Role:

"aws-marketplace:StartBuild",

"aws-marketplace:ViewSubscriptions",

When deploying SingleStoreDB via Cloud Formation script, SingleStore recommends using the SingleStoreDB Cluster Management Role to deploy and manage the cluster.

AWS administrators should rotate the user access key and secret periodically if IAM Roles are used to manage the users.
