# Providers

## Amazon EC2

Getting your Amazon EC2 credentials is a pretty easy process:

1. Add a new IAM User: [https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam/home#/users$new?step=details](https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam/home#/users$new?step=details)
2. Name the user **Hatchbox**
3. Set _Access type_ to **Programmatic access**
4. Add the **AmazonEC2FullAccess** permission to the IAM user
