You can create a role with AWS IAM (Identity and Access Management) so that
|
|
Docker Cloud can provision and manage swarms on your behalf.
|
|
|
|
## How to create the link
|
|
|
|
For instructions on how to link your AWS account to Docker Cloud,
|
|
see [the AWS instructions that enable swarm
|
|
mode](/docker-cloud/cloud-swarm/link-aws-swarm.md).
|
|
|
|
> **Note**: The procedure for linking these accounts is the same, regardless
|
|
of whether you are using Docker Cloud in
|
|
[Swarm Mode](/docker-cloud/index.md) or not. If you are
|
|
using standard mode, come back to these topics after you have linked
|
|
your AWS account.
|
|
|
|
## What's next?
|
|
|
|
You're ready to start using AWS as the infrastructure provider for Docker Cloud!
