Nuon’s Install process creates an AWS CloudFormation stack where when run by the customer, creates an install role with policies for the Nuon Runner to provision, maintain and deprovision the Sandbox.

During the Install process in the Nuon Dashboard, the user opens CloudFormation stack in their AWS account, which creates the VM that runs the Runner with the aforementioned policies.

Components and Actions include additional roles and policies required for the Runner to deploy them.

Previous releases of Nuon required that the user had a cross-account IAM role in their AWS account that granted access to Nuon accounts, which Nuon used to create the Install. This required manually running AWS CLI commands or using Terraform.
