# Getting Started

- [Quick Setup Overview](https://docs.scanner.dev/scanner/getting-started/quick-setup-overview.md): This guide walks you through connecting Scanner to your AWS environment and ingesting your first logs. The entire process typically takes 30-45 minutes.
- [Step 1: AWS Infrastructure Setup](https://docs.scanner.dev/scanner/getting-started/step-1-aws-infrastructure-setup.md): Before Scanner can analyze logs, you must establish a secure connection to your AWS account. This creates the IAM roles, S3 buckets, and EventBridge resources Scanner requires.
- [AWS CloudFormation](https://docs.scanner.dev/scanner/getting-started/step-1-aws-infrastructure-setup/aws-cloudformation.md): Getting started with CloudFormation
- [Terraform](https://docs.scanner.dev/scanner/getting-started/step-1-aws-infrastructure-setup/terraform.md): Getting started with Terraform
