Add documentation about how to use

[scanepa]

I think that there is a missing part about how to use external ID and account arn in the Dome9 web interface.

thanks for you great work

In the CloudFormation and Terraform sections, it's mentioned: https://github.com/Dome9/onboarding-scripts/tree/master/AWS/cloudformation

Would you like to see it at the AWS/ level or is there more clarification needed in the specific sections as well?

Thanks, Alex

Alex, you're right, the readme in CF folder is clear, but if a user goes directly in the https://github.com/Dome9/onboarding-scripts/tree/master/AWS/cft_with_d9_api_automation and just grab the content of the https://github.com/Dome9/onboarding-scripts/tree/master/AWS/cloudformation directory and copy it into a S3 bucket without taking care of your README.md she/he can end up thinking she/he on-boarded her/his cloud but this not true.

So moving into the upper folder should be good.

My 2cents. Stefano

Ah - for the API automation script, it actually generates a new external ID and applies it.

allchar = string.ascii_letters + string.digits extid = "".join(choice(allchar) for x in range(randint(12, 18)))

So in that case they should be good to go. I'll add in some more clarification though.

You still need ID and KEY for API.

I read your code and I'm doing something similar using sceptre and cloudformation.

It's in the readme:

• Ensure that both your Dome9 API keys and AWS API keys exist in this file as well.

Should I be adding in more info here or exiting the script if they don't exist?

[scanepa]

Exiting the script should be a good solution.

All the best Stefano

Thanks! -Alex
