# Onboard AWS
Effortlessly integrate your AWS account with Cloudshim to visualize and manage your cloud environment — no manual configuration required. Onboarding is a simple, one-click process powered by a prebuilt CloudFormation template that’s launched through AWS’s native console.

### Onboard multiple AWS Accounts
You can onboard as many AWS accounts as you need — simply repeat the process for each.
{% endhint %}
### Integrating with Cloudshim
1. In the Cloudshim onboarding wizard, click Connect AWS Account.
2. Review the required CloudFormation stack and its permissions.
3. Click Run Cloudshim Stack — this will open a new browser tab with the AWS CloudFormation console (ensure you’re logged into the correct account).
4. Leave all the default values intact.
5. Check the box that says:
**“I acknowledge that AWS CloudFormation might create IAM resources.”**
6. Click Create stack to complete the onboarding.
In under a minute, the stack deployment will be complete. Cloudshim will automatically get a confirmation for that and you do not need to set anything else.

After onboarding, head over to set your **AWS account name** in the Settings.
