Account subscription
To subscribe a workload to AWS Incident Detection and Response, create a new support case for each workload. When you create the support case, keep the following in mind:
-
To onboard a workload that's in a single AWS account, create the support case either from the workload's account or from your payer account.
To onboard a workload that spans multiple AWS accounts, create the support case from your payer account. In the body of the support case, list all account IDs to onboard.
Important
If you create a support case to subscribe a workload to Incident Detection and Response from the incorrect account, then you might experience delays and requests for additional information before your workloads can be subscribed.
