# AWS Agent

AWS agent can be used to manage AWS infrastructure using plain english commands. **It does not require storing any short / long term credentials.**

You will need to configure MechCloud IdP as an identity provider in AWS in order to make this integration work without using AWS API credentials.

Follow steps documented in [#configure-mechcloud-idp-into-aws-account](https://docs.mechcloud.io/cloud-computing/add-an-account/aws#configure-mechcloud-idp-into-aws-account "mention") section to configure MechCloud IdP into your AWS account and add an AWS account into MechCloud.
