You can enable {product-title} in your AWS account by verifying prerequisites in the AWS Management Console.

.Prerequisites

* You have a Red{nbsp}Hat account.
* You have an AWS account.
+
[NOTE]
====
Consider using a dedicated AWS account to run production clusters. If you are using AWS Organizations, you can use an AWS account within your organization or link:https://docs.aws.amazon.com/organizations/latest/userguide/orgs_manage_accounts_create.html#orgs_manage_accounts_create-new[create a new one].
====

.Procedure

. Sign in to the https://console.aws.amazon.com/rosa/home[AWS Management Console].

. Navigate to the link:https://console.aws.amazon.com/rosa/home[ROSA service].

. Click *Get started*.
+
The *Verify ROSA prerequisites* page opens.

. Under *ROSA enablement*, ensure that a checkmark and `You previously enabled ROSA` are displayed.
+
If not, follow these steps:

.. Select the checkbox beside `I agree to share my contact information with Red{nbsp}Hat`.
.. Click *Enable ROSA*.
+
After a short wait, a checkmark and `You enabled ROSA` message are displayed.

. Under *Service Quotas*, ensure that a checkmark and `Your quotas meet the requirements for ROSA` are displayed.
+
If you see `Your quotas don't meet the minimum requirements`, take note of the quota type and the minimum listed in the error message. See the Amazon documentation on link:https://docs.aws.amazon.com/servicequotas/latest/userguide/request-quota-increase.html[requesting a quota increase] for guidance. It might take several hours for Amazon to approve your quota request.

. Under *ELB service-linked role*, ensure that a checkmark and `AWSServiceRoleForElasticLoadBalancing already exists` are displayed.

. Click *Continue to Red{nbsp}Hat*.
+
The *Get started with {product-title} (ROSA)* page opens in a new tab. You have already completed Step 1 on this page, and can now continue with Step 2.

.Verification

* Go to the {cluster-manager-url} to verify that your AWS account is associated with your Red{nbsp}Hat organization.
