Adding cloud details

Overview

To connect to a cloud, Fuse IDE needs the relevant access and authorization information. This information was provided to you or a system administrator by the cloud provider, when the account was set up.

Procedure

To add a cloud's access details:

  1. In Fabric Explorer, right-click Clouds to open the context menu, and then select Add Cloud details.

    Cloud access details wizard

  2. In Name, enter a name for the cloud.

  3. In Provider name, select the name of the cloud provider from the drop-down list.

  4. In Identity, enter the account identifier supplied by the cloud provider.

    For example, for Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) accounts, you'd enter the Access Key ID.

  5. In Credential, enter the account password supplied by the cloud provider.

    For example, for Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) accounts, you'd enter the Secret Access Key.

  6. In Owner, optionally enter the name of the cloud account owner (for example, a company or department name).

  7. Click OK.

If you entered valid access details, Fuse IDE connects to the cloud whose access details you specified, and the name you entered in Step 2 appears as a node under Clouds in Fabric Explorer.
