--- title: Connect AWS GovCloud source: https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/infrastructure/amazon-integrations/connect/connect-aws-govcloud-new-relic --- The [AWS GovCloud (US)](https://aws.amazon.com/govcloud-us/) regions are designed to address the specific regulatory needs of United States (federal, state, and local agencies), education institutions, and the supporting ecosystem. It is an isolated AWS region designed to host sensitive data and regulated workloads in the cloud, helping customers support their US government compliance requirements. The [available set of AWS services](https://aws.amazon.com/govcloud-us/details/) is a subset of the AWS ecosystem. New Relic provides you with the confidence to deploy your most critical services on GovCloud, allowing you to monitor and observe your entire ecosystem from [our platform](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/new-relic-one/use-new-relic-one/get-started/introduction-new-relic-one). The AWS CloudWatch metric stream capability isn't available on GovCloud regions. > #### 💡 TIP > > You can use Terraform to automate the process of enabling cloud integrations. Read how in the [Terraform official documentation site](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/newrelic/newrelic/latest/docs/guides/cloud_integrations_guide). ## Requirements [#requirements] - You must have [your AWS account connected to New Relic](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/integrations/amazon-integrations/get-started/connect-aws-infrastructure) before connecting GovCloud. - If you're using our [AWS Lambda monitoring](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/serverless-function-monitoring/aws-lambda-monitoring/get-started/introduction-new-relic-monitoring-aws-lambda): our `newrelic-log-ingestion` is not deployed in the [AWS Serverless Application Repository](https://aws.amazon.com/serverless/serverlessrepo/) for AWS GovCloud; it must be installed manually. For instructions, see [Enable Lambda monitoring](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/serverless-function-monitoring/aws-lambda-monitoring/get-started/enable-new-relic-monitoring-aws-lambda#connect-aws). - AWS integrations supported in GovCloud: - [ALB/NLB](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/integrations/amazon-integrations/aws-integrations-list/aws-albnlb-monitoring-integration) - [API Gateway](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/integrations/amazon-integrations/aws-integrations-list/aws-api-gateway-monitoring-integration) - [Autoscaling](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/integrations/amazon-integrations/aws-integrations-list/aws-auto-scaling-monitoring-integration) - [CloudTrail](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/integrations/amazon-integrations/aws-integrations-list/aws-cloudtrail-monitoring-integration) - [DirectConnect](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/integrations/amazon-integrations/aws-integrations-list/aws-direct-connect-monitoring-integration) - [DynamoDB](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/integrations/amazon-integrations/aws-integrations-list/aws-dynamodb-monitoring-integration) - [EBS](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/integrations/amazon-integrations/aws-integrations-list/aws-ebs-monitoring-integration) - [EC2](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/integrations/amazon-integrations/aws-integrations-list/aws-ec2-monitoring-integration) - [Elasticsearch](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/integrations/amazon-integrations/aws-integrations-list/aws-elasticsearch-monitoring-integration) - [ELB (Classic)](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/integrations/amazon-integrations/aws-integrations-list/aws-elb-classic-monitoring-integration) - [EMR](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/integrations/amazon-integrations/aws-integrations-list/aws-emr-monitoring-integration) - [IAM](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/integrations/amazon-integrations/aws-integrations-list/aws-iam-monitoring-integration) - [Lambda](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/integrations/amazon-integrations/aws-integrations-list/aws-lambda-monitoring-integration) - [RDS](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/integrations/amazon-integrations/aws-integrations-list/aws-rds-monitoring-integration) - [Redshift](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/integrations/amazon-integrations/aws-integrations-list/aws-redshift-integration) - [Route53](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/integrations/amazon-integrations/aws-integrations-list/aws-route-53-monitoring-integration) - [S3](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/integrations/amazon-integrations/aws-integrations-list/aws-s3-monitoring-integration) - [SNS](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/integrations/amazon-integrations/aws-integrations-list/aws-sns-monitoring-integration) - [SQS](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/integrations/amazon-integrations/aws-integrations-list/aws-sqs-monitoring-integration) - [Step Functions](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/integrations/amazon-integrations/aws-integrations-list/aws-step-functions-monitoring-integration) ## Connect AWS GovCloud to New Relic To start receiving Amazon data with New Relic AWS integrations, connect your Amazon account to New Relic. 1. Obtain [your credentials](#govcloud-credentials). 2. Go to **[one.newrelic.com > All capabilities](https://one.newrelic.com/all-capabilities) > Infrastructure > GovCloud**. 3. Click on **Add AWS GovCloud account**. 4. Give your AWS account a name, provide the credentials to connect your account, and click **Submit**. 5. Select the Amazon Web Services to be monitored with New Relic infrastructure integrations, then click **Save**. ## How to obtain GovCloud credentials for New Relic [#govcloud-credentials] 1. From the [IAM console](https://console.amazonaws-us-gov.com/iam/home#/users), click **Add user**. 2. For the **User name**, type **NewRelicInfrastructure-Integrations**. For **Select AWS access type**, select as **Programmatic access**. ![Add a user in the AWS IAM console.](https://docs.newrelic.com/images/infrastructure_screenshot-crop_aws-add-user.webp "AWS-add-user.png") **AWS IAM console > Add user**: add **NewRelicInfrastructure-Integrations** as a user. 3. Attach the Policy: Search for **ReadOnlyAccess**, select the checkbox for the policy named **ReadOnlyAccess**, then click **Next: Tags** (adding tags is optional). Alternatively, you can [create your own managed policy](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/integrations/amazon-integrations/getting-started/integrations-managed-policies) and limit the permissions you grant New Relic according to the AWS services you want to monitor. ![AWS-set-permissions.png](https://docs.newrelic.com/images/infrastructure_screenshot-crop_aws-set-permissions.webp "AWS-set-permissions.png") **AWS IAM console > Add user > Set permissions**: select **ReadOnlyAccess**. 4. On the **Tags** page, click **Next: Review**. Review the user detail summary and click **Create user**. ![In IAM console, create the user.](https://docs.newrelic.com/images/infrastructure_screenshot-crop_aws-create-user.webp "AWS-create-user.png") **AWS IAM console > Add user > Set permissions > Tags > Review**: verify that the new user information is accurate. 5. Your user should be successfully created. Download the user security credentials by clicking on the **Download .csv** button and then click **Close**.
