Everyone talks about "seamless" cloud account onboarding. In my experience with Salesforce and other platforms, that's rarely the truth. You're always one wrong API permission or one misconfigured baseline from breaking something that's already working.
Lacework's documentation pushes their automated onboarding wizard, but I'm skeptical it handles the real-world mess. My team is about to bring a new AWS account into our existing Lacework tenant, and I don't want to disrupt monitoring on our other five accounts. The sales pitch is always about simplicity, but the devil is in the details.
I'm looking for the actual step-by-step from someone who's done it under these constraints:
* Existing CloudWatch integrations on live accounts must not be interrupted.
* How to validate the new account's resource inventory is being read correctly *before* enabling all policy checks?
* Is there a real rollback procedure if the new config screws up the agent or API calls?
* What are the specific IAM permissions that are *actually* needed, not just the broad ones Lacework lists?
I've seen too many "automated" processes in CRM that assume perfect, greenfield conditions. Show me the workflow.
