Connect Cloud Accounts

Connect cloud accounts to environments (collections) in Bluebricks. Each environment corresponds to a collectionarrow-up-right in the platform, and connecting a cloud account tells Bluebricks where that collection's deployments will run.

Prerequisites

  • Bluebricks CLI installed

  • Authenticated with Bluebricks (bricks login)

  • Existing environment (collection)

  • Cloud account credentials

What Are Cloud Accounts?

Cloud accounts in Bluebricks:

  • Provide cloud credentials for deployments

  • Connect to specific cloud providers (AWS, GCP, Azure)

  • Enable resource creation in the target collection

  • Manage cloud permissions and access

Cloud Account Connection

AWS Connection

Note: Currently only AWS is supported via CLI with bricks setup. For GCP, Azure, and other providers, use the Bluebricks web interface.
