 To use this integration, add configuration to your `app-config.yaml`:
 
+```yaml
+integrations:
+  awsCodeCommit:
+    - region: eu-west-1
+```
+
+This most basic example can only be used if you are running Backstage on an instance that has an IAM identity with the following policies:
+
+```
+{
+    "Version": "2012-10-17",
+    "Statement": [
+        {

+Each entry is a structure with the following **required** elements:
 
-- `region`: The AWS region to connect to, to communicate with the CodeCommit services. If no host is provided, this value will be used to determine the host url.
+- `region`: The AWS region to connect to, to communicate with the CodeCommit services
+
+The configuration can also provide a `host` property like the other integrations. If it is not provided, it will be determined from the provided region.
+i.e. When you provide `eu-west-1` as the region, Backstage will use the host `eu-west-1.console.aws.amazon.com` to check whether a provided url matches the integration.

+## Register an entity on AWS CodeCommit
+
+To register an entity that is stored in an AWS CodeCommit repository, you need to fetch the URL from the AWS Console:
+
+- Navigate to the Code Commit service in the AWS Console ([https://console.aws.amazon.com/codecommit/home](https://console.aws.amazon.com/codecommit/home))
+- _Optional: Make sure you select the correct region if you don't use the default one (us-east-1)_
+- Select the repository where the entity file is stored
+- Inside the repository navigate to the backstage entity file (`catalog-info.yaml`) and open the file
+- Now you can copy-paste the URL from your browser inside Backstage
+
+The format would be something like:
+`https://{region}.console.aws.amazon.com/codesuite/codecommit/repositories/{reponame}/browse/refs/heads/{branch}/--{/path-to-entity-file}/catalog-info.yaml`
