A Cloud Auth is a secure connection between your Daestro account and your account with a cloud provider like Amazon Web Services (AWS) or DigitalOcean. Think of it as giving Daestro a special, secure key that allows it to manage servers on your behalf.
This connection is necessary because Daestro runs your tasks (jobs) directly within your own cloud account. This gives you full control and means you pay your cloud provider directly for any servers you use. Daestro only charges its own separate fee for providing the management platform.
To connect your account, you’ll provide an API Key from your cloud provider. Daestro treats this key with the highest security. All keys are protected with strong AES-GCM 256 encryption before they are stored, so your credentials are kept safe.
Follow these simple steps to connect your cloud account:
Access Key ID
and Secret Access Key
.Access Token
.My Personal AWS Account
.You can make changes to a Cloud Auth after you’ve created it.
If you no longer need a connection, you can delete it. For safety, Daestro will only let you delete a Cloud Auth if no Compute Environments are assocated with it. If you need to delete it, you must first delete associated Compute Environments.
