Prerequisites

Before you create your first deployment, make sure the following are in place. Each item is a one-time setup task — typically handled by your Amnify administrator — that unlocks the full capabilities of Amnify Deploy.

1. A Template Repository on GitHub​

Templates are stored in a GitHub repository owned by your organization. This repository must be created under your organization's GitHub account, connected to Amnify (configured by your Amnify administrator), and populated with at least one template following the Amnify template structure.

If this is not yet set up, contact your Amnify administrator. Once configured, templates will be available to browse and use when creating Deployments.

tip

Your template repository does not need to be public. Amnify Deploy works with private repositories as long as the GitHub integration is configured correctly.

2. At Least One Cloud Integration​

Amnify Deploy provisions infrastructure into real cloud accounts. Before you can deploy anything, at least one cloud account must be connected to Amnify.

Supported cloud providers:

  • Microsoft Azure — connects via a service principal and subscription
  • Amazon Web Services (AWS) — connects via IAM credentials
  • Google Cloud Platform (GCP) — connects via a service account

Cloud integrations are configured in the Integrations section of the Amnify platform. If you do not have access to configure integrations, ask your Amnify administrator to set them up.

Once a cloud integration is configured, it will be available when creating Deployments — you will be able to select the provider, subscription/account, and region during the Deployment Creation wizard.

3. Access to the Amnify Platform​

You need an active Amnify account with access to the Deploy feature. If you cannot see the Deploy section in the navigation, contact your administrator to ensure your account has the appropriate permissions.

4. Know Your Target Environment​

Before creating your first deployment, it is helpful to know:

  • Which cloud provider you are deploying to (Azure, AWS, or GCP)
  • Which region you want to deploy into (e.g., East US, eu-west-1, europe-west1)
  • Which cloud account or subscription to use

This information is needed during the Deployment Creation wizard. Your cloud administrator can provide these details if you are unsure.

Checklist​

Use this checklist before proceeding to the Quickstart:

  • A GitHub repository exists and is connected to Amnify as the template source
  • At least one cloud integration (Azure, AWS, or GCP) is configured in Amnify
  • Your Amnify account has access to the Deploy feature
  • You know which cloud provider, region, and account to deploy into

Once all boxes are checked, you are ready to create your first deployment.
