# Create AWS telemetry instances

To create an instance of the CSV provider, build a YAML file (`instance.yml` in this example) with the definition of the instance:

```yaml
# AWS Telemetry Instance
provider: AWS
config:
  accessKeyId: access_key_id
  secretAccessKey: secret_access_key
```

Then you can create the instance for the `aws-system` using the Akamas CLI:

```bash
akamas create telemetry-instance instance.yml aws-system
```

### Configuration options <a href="#configuration-options" id="configuration-options"></a>

When you create an instance of the AWS provider, you should specify some configuration information to allow the provider to correctly extract and process metrics from your CSV files.

You can specify configuration information within the `config` part of the YAML of the instance definition.

#### Required properties <a href="#required-properties" id="required-properties"></a>

* `accessKeyId` - the access key id of your chosen IAM use
* `secretAccessKey` - the secret access key of your chosen IAM user

### Telemetry instance reference <a href="#telemetry-instance-reference" id="telemetry-instance-reference"></a>

The following represents the complete configuration reference for the telemetry provider instance.

```yaml
provider: AWS                                # This is an instance of the AWS provider
config:
  accessKeyId: access_key_id                 # The access key id of your IAM user
  secretAccessKey: secret_access_key         # The secret access key of your IAM user
```

Then you can create the instance for the `aws-system` using the Akamas CLI:

```
akamas create telemetry-instance instance.yml aws-system
```

### Configuration options <a href="#configuration-options" id="configuration-options"></a>

When you create an instance of the AWS provider, you should specify some configuration information to allow the provider to correctly extract and process metrics from your CSV files.

You can specify configuration information within the `config` part of the YAML of the instance definition.

* `secretAccessKey` - the secret access key of your chosen IAM user

### Telemetry instance reference <a href="#telemetry-instance-reference" id="telemetry-instance-reference"></a>

The following YAML file represents a template to define the telemetry provider instance.

```yaml
provider: AWS                                # This is an instance of the AWS provider
config:
  accessKeyId: access_key_id                 # The access key id of your IAM user
  secretAccessKey: secret_access_key         # The secret access key of your IAM user
```

The following table describes the configuration reference for the `config` section

| Field             | Type   | Description                                   | Default Value | Restrictions          | Required |
| ----------------- | ------ | --------------------------------------------- | ------------- | --------------------- | -------- |
| `accessKeyId`     | String | The access key id of your chosen IAM user     |               | Valid IAM credentials | Yes      |
| `secretAccessKey` | String | The secret access key of your chosen IAM user |               | Valid IAM credentials | Yes      |
