Add a public cloud connection

CubeCMP integrates with AWS to enable hybrid cloud resource allocation and centralized management.

Configure public cloud integration for the entire cluster​

To enable site-wide public cloud access, configure the AWS integration under the DEFAULT project. Applying the integration at the DEFAULT project level allows all projects in the CubeCMP tenant to use the configured public cloud provider.

warning

Configuring a public cloud integration at the cluster level grants cloud access to all users who have permission to use cloud resources. For more granular access control, configure the public cloud integration at the project level instead.
