# AWS

Connect AWS to use Blossom BYOC (bring your own cloud), with workloads billed
to your AWS account.

## Connect

1. Create a dedicated IAM identity with the permissions shown by Blossom.
2. Generate an Access Key ID and Secret Access Key for that identity.
3. In Blossom, open **Cloud Providers**, choose **AWS**, and save the
   credentials.
4. Run the connection check, then select a supported AWS region when you create
   an Environment.

Keep the AWS account active, its payment method current, the IAM policy valid,
and enough regional quota available for approved Capacity. After the connection
is healthy, deploy, scale, observe, and recover Apps through the ordinary
Blossom workflow.

You can also [connect the provider with the Blossom CLI](/docs/locations/cloud-providers/create-from-cli/).
