2. Cloud Credentials and Regions setup

caution

The Ash Console is currently in beta and not production-ready. It is under active development and subject to breaking changes.

Create a cloud credentials secret

To deploy the Avalanche node resource into your cloud account/subscription/project, you need to provide the Console with appropriate credentials.

1. Follow the instructions provided in the Cloud Credentials reference to create a cloud credentials secret in the Console. You can pick the cloud provider of your choice among: AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud (more coming soon).

2. Save the secret ID for later use. You can always get it with the console secret list command:

   ash console secret list

Add a cloud region to the project

Using the Ash Console

From the Ash Console project overview page, navigate to the Cloud Regions tab:

• Click on the Add Cloud Region button.
• Select the cloud provider and region you want to use (see list of supported regions).
• Select the cloud credentials secret you created the previous step.
• Click on the Create button to add the cloud region to the project.

Using the Ash CLI

Add a cloud region of your choice to the project with the console region add (see list of supported regions)

tip

You need the name of the cloud credentials secret created above.

Command

ash console region add '{
  cloudProvider: azure,
  region: francecentral,
  cloudCredentialsSecretId: my-az-creds
}'

Output

Cloud region successfully added to project 'fuji-node-guide'!
