    SecureCloud requires that users set certain permissions when creating this IAM Role. See Creating an IAM Role for SecureCloud for more information.
  2. Launch the desired Amazon EC2 instance.
  3. Configure the Amazon EC2 instance.
    1. On the Step 1: Choose AMI screen, select an operating system that SecureCloud supports for Amazon EC2 integration.
