In order to manage other cloud platforms from drootoo, it needs the cloud keys. Hence, it is a key part of the Settings of a drootoo account.

For Amazon, use the “Add Amazon Key” button.

The Amazon document “About Access Keys” shows how to create the Access API Key and Secret – https://aws.amazon.com/developers/access-keys/

User is the name of an existing user in your drootoo account. Refer Users for more info. KeyName is a name we give to the information entered.

For Microsoft Azure, use the “Add Microsoft Key” button.
