Configure LocalStack
What is a LocalStack session
With LocalStack you can emulate AWS cloud services with a fully functional cloud stack on your local machine. Develop and test your cloud applications with the full cloud experience, but without the hassle of the remote cloud.
You can use Leapp to create a LocalStack session that can then be used to set your local credential file and access your LocalStack resources.
Info
You need to install LocalStack in order to use the AWS cloud emulation features
How to configure a LocalStack session in Leapp
- From the top bar, click on the plus icon to add a new session.

Warning
LocalStack sessions work only with AWS Credential Method configured with the credential-file-method
