on your AWS environment.
- Instance profile requires minimum permission: sts:AssumeRole.
- Instance profile requires permission to assume the roles needed by the AWS integrations.

### Configure AWS Settings
- Create an IAM Role for the Instance Profile.
- Attach a Role to the Instance Profile.
- Configure the Necessary IAM Roles that the AWS Integration Can Assume.
