Getting Started
This section describes how to perform a new installation of Finala.
Permissions
Finala scans all the resource in your cloud provider , thus it needs read-only permissions to get the data.
You will need to setup a new IAM User/Role which will use the following policies.
We use the AWS pre-defined Policies:
- AWSPriceListServiceFullAccess
- ReadOnlyAccess
Authentication Methods
we support several AWS authentication methods:
- Static AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID & AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
- Profiles
- Roles (Assume Role)
Docker Compose
These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local. Please refer Quick Start
Deploy Finala on Kubernetes
You can use Helm to install Finala on a Kubernetes cluster see Deploying Finala on Kubernetes.
