Add a cloud provider for a Snapshot Manager
You can protect the assets on the Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Microsoft Azure, Microsoft Azure Stack Hub, and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) providers. Starting with 9.0, the Snapshot Manager can discover Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure US Government cloud workloads.
To add a cloud provider for Snapshot Manager
- On the left, click Workloads > Cloud.
- Click the Providers tab or click Add under the cloud provider for which you want to add a configuration.
- Enter a value in the Configuration Name field in the Add configuration pane.
- Select the preferred Snapshot Manager.
- Enter the required details.
