Create a Big-IQ Cloud Provider

From your Super-NetOps terminal, there are multiple ways to see your AWS access keys. You can echo the environment variables:

echo $AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
echo $AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY

…or you can cat the hidden ~/.aws/config file:

cat ~/.aws/config

Copy the aws_access_key_id to the clipboard.

In Big-IQ, Applications => Environments => Cloud Providers => Create Cloud Provider.

  • Name: aws
  • Description: admin
  • Provider Type: AWS

Fill in the “Access Key ID” and “Secret Access Key” and click [Test].

When your [Test] results in “Test Connection Successful” click on “Save & Close”.
