Major Cloud Providers

​
AWS (Amazon Web Services)

Supported AWS Services:

Example Config: Amazon Web Services can be integrated by using the following configuration block.

- provider: aws # provider is the name of the provider
  # id is the name defined by user for filtering (optional)
  id: staging
  # aws_access_key is the access key for AWS account
  aws_access_key: $AWS_ACCESS_KEY
  # aws_secret_key is the secret key for AWS account
  aws_secret_key: $AWS_SECRET_KEY
  # aws_session_token session token for temporary security credentials retrieved via STS (optional)

GCP (Google Cloud Platform)

Supported GCP Services:

Example Config:

Google Cloud Platform can be integrated by using the following configuration block.

  id: logs
  # gcp_service_account_key is the minified json of a google cloud service account with list permissions
  gcp_service_account_key: '{xxxxxxxxxxxxx}'

gcp_service_account_key can be retrieved by creating a new service account. To do so, create service account with Read Only access to cloudresourcemanager and dns scopes in IAM. Next, generate a new account key for the Service Account by following steps in Reference 2. This should give you a json which can be pasted in a single line in the gcp_service_account_key.
