Connecting Cloud Accounts

After onboarding, you can add or manage integrations at any time via Settings > Integrations. To connect a new cloud account, go to the Integrations page and click "Add New". From the list of provider options, select your cloud or service (e.g. AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Kubernetes).

Cloud Provider Integration Methods

Firefly provides guided procedures for each integration:

AWS

To add an AWS account you can choose either:

• An AWS CloudFormation stack

• A Terraform script

Both methods establish a read-only role that Firefly will assume. Firefly supplies the CloudFormation template or Terraform module and necessary instructions; you'll need to deploy these in your AWS account (with appropriate permissions) to grant Firefly access.

Google Cloud

For Google Cloud, you can either:

• Upload a service account key

• Use Terraform to set up the integration

Azure

For Azure, Firefly uses a Service Principal to access your subscriptions:

• Client ID/secret authentication

• Terraform setup option

Kubernetes

Kubernetes clusters are integrated by deploying Firefly's agent:

1. In Firefly's Integrations, select "Add New > Kubernetes"

2. Give the cluster a name (ID)

3. Mark if it's a production cluster

4. Optionally enable Argo CD integration if you use Argo CD for GitOps

Firefly will then provide a one-line command (Helm script or kubectl apply) for you to run in your cluster to finalize the connection.

Integration Process

No matter the provider, Firefly's documentation walks through the exact steps needed – often involving creating a read-only role or API key and pasting it into Firefly. Once connected, Firefly will begin discovering assets in that account.
