AWS side:

You need to create one user and one group using IAM in AWS. It is very easy to create user and group in AWS. You can find out IAM from different services available in your AWS account under Security, Identity & Compliance section. Once you choose IAM, you can find out options to create an user and group in the left pane. Once you create the group, you need to assign the following 4 policies to the group. Then you need to assign the created gorup to the user created in AWS.

What to do next?

As soon as the Amazon cloud account is integrated in SAP CAL, you can choose any solution available within the repository. You can browse & choose the solution that you want to launch. Then, simply click on the solution to find out the virtual machines and their configurations that would be used in AWS. You should accept the license agreement before launching the solution. Your trial period would be started as soon as you accept license agreement. Use any solution for the period of 90 days once it is launched. You can keep the solution on continuously or suspend temporarily. When you suspend the instance, the hourly billing in your cloud account would be stopped. You just need to pay for the storage space being used to keep your data related to your servers.

 You can also permanently terminate the solution to avoid data charges also. Once you terminate any solution, again to create the same instance, you need to wait at least 1 hour after the solution is launched.
