Azure connection
An Azure connection lets CloudFlow action nodes call Azure Resource Manager APIs by reusing permissions from an Azure tenant that is already connected to DoiT Cloud Intelligence. Azure connections can only be created from existing Cloud Connect permissions. You do not deploy or store separate Azure credentials in CloudFlow.
Required permissions
To create an Azure connection, your DoiT account must have the CloudFlow Manager permission. See CloudFlow permissions.
Prerequisites
-
The Azure tenant must be connected to DoiT Cloud Intelligence. Its Cloud Connect configuration must be healthy when the connection is used in a flow.
-
The linked Azure configuration must have the Azure Resource Manager permissions required by the actions you plan to run. Azure data-plane APIs are not supported.
Create an Azure connection
-
Sign in to the DoiT console, select Automation and operations from the top navigation mega menu, and then select CloudFlow.
-
From the sidebar, select Connections.
-
Select the Azure tab.
-
Select Create connection from existing permissions.
-
In the dialog, select one or more Azure configurations. Each row shows its current status. Configurations that already have a CloudFlow connection are disabled and show Connection already exists.
-
Select Create or Create N connections. The new connection appears with the subtitle Using existing permissions.
The connection remains linked to its Cloud Connect configuration. Update Azure permissions from the linked configuration and manage which DoiT users can use the connection from CloudFlow. See Manage connections.
Use the connection
Add the connection directly to an Azure node. You can reuse the same connection across multiple Azure nodes.
