Disclaimers
  • swxtch.io does not handle any policy access rights for deployment nor does it have any special IAM roles or policies that are needed. That being said, swxtch.io suggests using a policy of least privilege for all access granted as part of the deployment. Please refer to AWS for best practices for policy rights and IAM roles and policies: AWS Identity
  • swxtch.io does not require any public resources for deployment such as Amazon S3 buckets.
  • swxtch.io cloudSwXtch installation does not use any AWS Secrets in Secret Manager as swxtch.io does not natively store any customer sensitive data. Customers can encrypt their traffic and the cloudSwXtch will still be able to handle the network traffic.
  • swxtch.io does not encrypt data. It pass through any data sent in the multicast which may be encrypted.
