How to Create an AWS GovCloud Account

Prev Next

Overview:

GovCloud is ideal for customers who must meet strict compliance requirements, safeguard sensitive data, strengthen identity and access management, gain greater cloud visibility, and protect accounts as well as workloads.

Process:

  1. Fill out the AWS GovCloud Application and submit. Form is routed to AWS@ingrammicro.com. Reseller Point of Contact (POC) will also receive a copy of the submission.

  2. AWS Sales Rep will create an internal ticket with our Partner Support team, who will send the application to the AWS GovCloud Activations Team for review.

    • If the request is approved, the Activations Team will activate the AWS Account(s) to be used within a GovCloud Region. Typical SLA to partition an account is up to 48 hours.

    • If the request is denied, Reseller Point of Contact will be notified.

  3. AWS GovCloud Activation Team will send an email notification to the root email address that the account has been activated. This email will not include the IAM credentials.

  4. AWS GovCloud Activation Team will provide IAM credentials to the POC listed on the AWS GovCloud Application that will allow access into the GovCloud Region.
