Import a provider

A Provider in import mode connects SleakOps to an AWS Organization you already run, instead of creating a new one. This page covers how to create a provider in import mode and where it leads next.

Prerequisites​

  • The import feature enabled for your company. Without it, the import toggle doesn't appear.

When to use import mode​

Use the default flow (Providers) when you want SleakOps to provision a new AWS Organization and accounts for you. Use import mode when you already operate AWS infrastructure and want SleakOps to manage it as-is — the accounts, network, and EKS cluster are connected rather than recreated.

Create the provider in import mode​

  1. Go to Settings > Providers and click Create. The provider wizard opens on the Basic Information tab.

  2. Turn on the Install SleakOps in existing AWS infra toggle.

    With the toggle on, the Email field is hidden — SleakOps reads the account email from your existing AWS setup instead. Name, Region, and Domain work the same as in the default flow.

  3. Fill in Name, Region, and Domain, then click Submit to move to Connect to AWS. This tab and the CloudFormation role setup match the default flow — see Providers — with one addition: an optional box lets you run a CloudFormation stack once on your AWS organization root account to activate organization-level Cost Allocation Tags. Skipping it only disables organization-level cost tagging.

  4. Once the provider finishes creating, SleakOps redirects you automatically to Accounts & Networking instead of the dashboard.
