Connect a cloud and use it

You finish this when a connection exists in the console and a workflow has used it.

1. Create the connection

For AWS, follow Getting started: open Connections, add the cloud provider, and hand Orkestia a role ARN. You create the role in your account. Orkestia does not take access keys.

For GCP, Azure, Magalu Cloud, or Kubernetes, use the matching page under Cloud connections. The grant is provider-native. Workflow inputs do not carry the credential.

2. Let the assistant read the prerequisites

Connect an assistant if you have not: Run a workflow from an assistant.

Then ask it to set the connection up, show the prerequisites, and wait. It will ask for the role ARN (or the provider's equivalent) before it starts the workflow.

3. Run something that needs the connection

Ask for one concrete action in that account, such as listing what the role can see, or creating a resource the schema allows. The assistant calls get_workflow_schema first. Names and fields come from the live catalog, not from this page.

4. Add DNS only if a name has to resolve

Custom domains for a site or for sign-in start at DNS providers. Skip this until something you published needs a name you own.
