The Amazon EC2 connector helps you automate the management of Amazon EC2 instances. As a designer you can design workflows to provision, start, stop, terminate, and restart Amazon EC2 instances. This section provides following information for the Amazon EC2 connector:
The Credentials section is a central repository that securely stores and manages all login credentials for the connector. You can add, edit, and validate credentials. For more information about how to add, edit, and validate credentials see connector credentials.
