Instead of asking customers to follow a dozen of manual steps, provide them a cloudformation stack with one-click installation. The template creates following resources in customer's AWS accounts.
An IAM role (with either Full or Core permissions) for Datadog to assume for data collection (e.g., CloudWatch metrics).
If a list of S3 paths for log archive and rehydration specified, automatically adds the required permissions to the integration IAM role.
Note, the DdApiKey parameter is a secret and therefore it cannot be embedded in the quick launch URL, and user does have to manually paste its value for security reasons.
