MITRE Caldera Adversary Simulation

Question

Hello everyone,

I want to build a lab environment, where I have a simulated Security Operations Center with some vulnerable EC2 instances like Workstations or Windows/Linux Servers.

Furthermore I will have a Linux Ubuntu Server with the tool MITRE Caldera installed on top of it. This tool is used to simulate Red Teaming or Adversary TTPs.

Is that tool allowed to be used in AWS? Are there any restrictions for that tool or can i perform anything with that? This is a tool which simulates an attack and cleans up afterwards.

My aim is to create alerts with Caldera and check what the newly created SOC can see regarding visibility.
Thank you in advance.
