Amazon Web Services account requirements for Cloudera Data Warehouse Public Cloud

This topic provides an overview of the Amazon Web Services (AWS) account requirements for Cloudera Data Warehouse (CDW) Public Cloud.

When the CDW Public Cloud service is deployed, it uses the AWS VPC that is registered for an environment by the CDP Management Console. Then you use that environment to create Database Catalogs and Virtual Warehouses in the Data Warehouse service. During creation of Database Catalogs and Virtual Warehouses, the CDW Public Cloud service creates its own AWS public cloud resources, such as S3 buckets, DynamoDB tables, and IAM roles and policies. CDW has the same basic AWS requirements as those listed for environments in the Management Console documentation, but in addition, there are unique requirements for CDW. These two sets of requirements are listed in the documents linked to at the bottom of this page.
