1. User Logs into MicroStrategy on AWS through the Web Interface or via the API

2. User inputs all the required fields and initiates the Create Environment Action

3. AWS Step Function is triggered to Create the environment with all the relevant parameters.

4. AWS Step Function triggers a Cloudformation Stack which in turn provisions all the required AWS Resources and performs configuration.

5. Cloudformation updates are sent to AWS SNS Topic 6. AWS Lambda parses the messages 7. AWS Lambda sends the messages to an AWS SQS

Message Queue8. MicroStrategy Cloud Console processes the messages and

updates the status
