Add credentials for public cloud

Your enterprise (cloud tenant) should have its own public cloud account or subscription for each cloud provider, and it cannot share these with any other tenants.

Before you begin, check your provider's documentation and pricing. You will need credentials to access the cloud provider's API. We provide basic guides (see https://abiquo.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ABI61/pages/652343223) but you should always check with your provider. 

To add public cloud credentials for your tenant:

1. In the bottom left corner of the screen, select the User icon, to open the User icon menu

2. Select Edit credentials
   
   

   Open

   

   User icon menu

3. Select Public

4. Select the Provider. There may be a separate provider for regions requiring different credentials

To add credentials for compute with optional billing and pricing:

1. Enter the Access key ID:

   1. For AWS, enter the Access key ID

   2. For Azure standard accounts and CSP customers, the format is subscription-id#app-id#tenant-id

   3. For GCP the format is project_id#client_id#client_email#private_key_id

   4. For OCI the format is tenancy#user#fingerprint

   5. Secret access key: this may be an API key, App secret key, API credential, App password, etc.

2. Optionally, for Amazon, GCP, or OCI billing, select Also use for pricing. 
   For Azure, to add billing credentials, go to Pricing.

To add credentials for billing only with no compute access:

• For a customer of an Azure CSP or an Amazon organization do these steps.

  1. Enter the Access key ID as follows:

     • For Azure, the format is subscription-id##tenant-id

     • For AWS, the format is account-id

  2. For the Secret access key, you can enter a random string
