Platform Quickstart

Get from zero to your first reviewed AWS change, entirely in the browser.

1. Create your account

Navigate to app.cloudbooster.io and sign up with email or SSO. You land on the empty organisation dashboard.

2. Connect an AWS account

In the portal, go to Organisation → Cloud Profiles and click Connect AWS account.

• The wizard generates a CloudFormation stack template — deploy it in the target AWS account.
• CloudBooster verifies the connection automatically once the stack is up.

For the full walkthrough see Connect an AWS account, and the Cross-Account Role Security Model for the trust model.

3. Create a project and environment

• Go to Projects → New project and name it (e.g. payments-api).
• Add an environment (e.g. staging), choose the staging type, and link the cloud profile from step 2.

See Projects and environments for the underlying model.

4. Propose your first change

From inside the environment, click New ChangeSet (or Propose a change).

Describe the change in plain English in the intent prompt — for example:

Add a Postgres database for the orders service, multi-AZ, 20 GB.

CloudBooster generates an ADR, a diagram, and a composition.

Prefer the terminal for audits? Run cbx audit aws against a connected account — see the CLI Quickstart.

5. Review and approve

The ChangeSet opens to the ADR tab — read what CloudBooster proposes and why.

• Switch to Diagram to see the resulting topology.
• Switch to Composition to adjust details (instance size, name) if needed.
• Click Approve when you're satisfied.

If your project has approval rules, the ChangeSet sits in blocked until reviewers sign off. See Review a ChangeSet.

6. Apply and monitor

The ChangeSet moves to Applying automatically after approval.

• Watch the live deployment log in the portal.
• When it's done, the resources appear on the Infrastructure map.
