Prerequisites for VPC+ DRaas

Before you begin discovering and backing up your AWS Virtual Private Cloud resources, you must have:

Permissions for Accessing that cluster.

An access key and secret key of that user through which cluster was provisioned, because in EKS only the user can access who have created it.

Note:This user should have all read and write prmission for the cluster.

This user should have also access to the S3 bucket. The S3 bucket will be used to store your images and volumes during the migration process.

Writer or Manager service role for IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service. Administrator platform role for Container Registry. Writer or Manager service role for IBM Cloud Object Storage.
