Review the sections below to determine the best starting point for your environment.

China Cloud in InsightCloudSec: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What does InsightCloudSec support for China Clouds?

Review the full list of China-specific supported services below.

How do I start seeing my China environments in InsightCloudSec?

InsightCloudSec relies on a process called “harvesting” to pull data from various CSPs. Currently, InsightCloudSec only offers onboarding for an individual cloud account in AWS China via our universal onboarding experience.

Can customers running InsightCloudSec in China Cloud (self-hosted) harvest commercial account data/resources?

AWS China:

Yes, however, customers must use an STS assume role operation instead of a traditional assume role. API calls cannot be made between AWS partitions (commercial/GovCloud/China) until a cross-partition STS assume role operation has been performed.

Can customers running InsightCloudSec in commercial cloud environments (SaaS and self-hosted) harvest China Cloud account data/resources?

AWS China:

Yes, however, customers must use a STS assume role operation instead of a traditional assume role. API calls cannot be made between AWS partitions (commercial/GovCloud/China) until a cross-partition STS assume role operation has been performed.

AWS China Policies

InsightCloudSec offers several different AWS policies for harvesting resource information found in your AWS accounts and enabling InsightCloudSec features. Our universal onboarding experience will implement the appropriate policies automatically, so there’s no need for AWS China-specific policies. Review AWS Policies for details.

AWS China Supported Deployment Regions

InsightCloudSec can only be deployed in AWS. For self-hosted customers, InsightCloudSec can be exclusively deployed/hosted in AWS China, if you so choose.

AWS China Supported Services
