How-To Integrate a 3rd Party Tool - Part 3: Resource Handler Credentials

Overview

In some cases, the integration you are looking for is some additional functionality from a Resource Handler (RH) / Cloud Platform that already has stored credentials in CloudBolt (CB). For this use case, we can look up and re-use the credentials already stored for the resource handler.

This article will only cover examples for AWS, Azure and vCenter

Considerations

Account Permissions:

• If you are allowed to have a single account for the RH and the new integration, it is recommended that you do so and update the permissions for all use cases. This reduces account and Connection Info splay.

• If you are not allowed to re-use accounts, this use case is not for you and you should consider creating a Connection Info.

rh = AWSHandler.get(name="AWS")
