Explanation
To onboard an AWS account into Prisma Cloud for resource configuration monitoring only (not logs or events), two items are required: the Role ARN (B) and the External ID (D). The Role ARN is the Amazon Resource Name of the IAM cross-account role that Prisma Cloud assumes to read resource configurations in your AWS account. The External ID is a unique token that accompanies the role assumption request to prevent 'confused deputy' attacks, ensuring only your Prisma Cloud tenant can assume that role. CloudTrail (A) is only required when you also want to ingest audit logs and event data - not needed for config-only monitoring. Active Directory ID (C) is irrelevant to AWS account onboarding.
