Adding cloud accounts
to
Automation Assembler
Automation Assembler
Cloud accounts are the configured
permissions that
Automation Assembler
uses to collect data from the
regions or data centers, and to deploy cloud templates to those regions. The collected data includes the regions that you
later associate with cloud zones.
When you later configure cloud
zones, mappings, and profiles, you select the cloud account to which they are
associated.
As a cloud administrator, you create cloud accounts
for the projects in which team members work. Resource information such as network and
security, compute, storage, and tags content is data-collected from your cloud accounts.
If the cloud account has associated machines that
have already been deployed in the region, you can bring those machines into
Automation Assembler
management by using an onboarding plan. See What are onboarding plans in Automation Assembler.If you remove a cloud account that is used in a
deployment, resources that are part of that deployment become unmanaged.
Monitoring the cloud account
health
To ensure that your cloud accounts are
communicating with the target system, the status of the account appears on the card
based on periodic health checks.
Warnings indicate that there might be a problem
that needs your attention.
In some cases, the details can help you resolve
the issue. In other cases, you can run the
Update
option. It
might be that the connection has been, in which case Update
does not resolve the problem. One possible scenario is that the credentials have
expired. To troubleshoot, first re-establish a connection with the updated
credentials.
