AWS dependencies

Grid requires various AWS resources to run, such as S3 buckets and DynamoDB tables.

Credentials

Grid interacts with various AWS resources with the profile media-service.

Create a profile using the AWS CLI:

aws configure --profile media-service

By default, we use localstack in DEV, so the credentials for this profile don't need to be valid.

Developers working at the Guardian can use Janus to get credentials.

The resources needed to run Grid locally are defined in the CloudFormation template here.

During the setup process, Grid will create the resources automatically.
