# Cloud deployment
Interacting with a major cloud provider such as Amazon AWS may have become a much needed task that's
part of your delivery process. GitLab is making this process less painful by providing Docker images
that come with the needed libraries and tools pre-installed.
By referencing them in your CI/CD pipeline, you'll be able to interact with your chosen
cloud provider more easily.
## AWS
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/issues/31167) in GitLab 12.6.
GitLab's AWS Docker image provides the [AWS Command Line Interface](https://aws.amazon.com/cli/),
which enables you to run `aws` commands. As part of your deployment strategy, you can run `aws` commands directly from
`.gitlab-ci.yml` by specifying [GitLab's AWS Docker image](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/cloud-deploy).
Some credentials are required to be able to run `aws` commands:
1. Sign up for [an AWS account](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/getting-set-up.html) if you don't have one yet.
1. Log in onto the console and create [a new IAM user](https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam/home#/home).
1. Select your newly created user to access its details. Navigate to **Security credentials > Create a new access key**.
NOTE: **Note:**
A new **Access key ID** and **Secret access key** pair will be generated. Please take a note of them right away.
1. In your GitLab project, go to **Settings > CI / CD**. Set the Access key ID and Secret access key as [environment variables](../variables/README.md#gitlab-cicd-environment-variables), using the following variable names:
| Env. variable name | Value |
|:------------------------|:-------------------------|
| `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID` | Your "Access key ID" |
| `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` | Your "Secret access key" |
1. You can now use `aws` commands in the `.gitlab-ci.yml` file of this project:
```yml
deploy:
stage: deploy
image: registry.gitlab.com/gitlab-org/cloud-deploy:latest
script:
- aws s3 ...
- aws create-deployment ...
```
