# Connect Akto with AWS Fargate
## Introduction
You can use Akto traffic collectors to collect and send traffic to Akto. Your APIs from this traffic will show up in Akto dashboard.
## Creating AWS Policy
1\. Go to Quick Start on your Akto dashboard and expand the `Connect traffic data` section.
2\. Scroll down to `Data processors setup` section.
3\. Copy the `policy json` and click on the Akto Dashboard role link.
4\. `Click` on the `JSON` tab and `paste the policy`
5\. Click on `Review policy` button.
6\. Enter *`AktoDashboardPolicy`* as the policy name and `click` on `Create Policy` button
8\. Once the policy is created, go back to the `dashboard`.
## Setting up Data processors
1\. Click on `Setup traffic processors` button.
2\. This will bring up infra that will process your traffic.
3\. Check that you have `AKTO_NLB` var once setup is complete.
## Add Akto traffic collector container
1\. Create a container with the following config
```
...
{
"name": "akto-traffic-collector",
"image": "aktosecurity/mirror-api-logging:k8s_agent",
"environment": [
{
"name": "AKTO_TRAFFIC_BATCH_TIME_SECS",
"value": "10"
},
{
"name": "AKTO_TRAFFIC_BATCH_SIZE",
"value": "100"
},
{
"name": "AKTO_INFRA_MIRRORING_MODE",
"value": "gcp"
},
{
"name": "AKTO_KAFKA_BROKER_MAL",
"value": ":9092"
},
{
"name": "AKTO_MONGO_CONN",
"value": "mongodb://0.0.0.0:27017"
}
]
}
```
