Overview
The Cloud Credentials Management interface provides a centralized location to view and manage all cloud provider credentials. These credentials are automatically listed when a cluster is provisioned. This interface gives you visibility into all credentials, allows you to see which clusters are using them, and provides actions to update or delete them as needed.
Viewing Credentials and Their Usage
Each cloud credential is displayed with details such as:- Credential name
- Cloud provider (AWS, GCP, Azure, Scaleway)
- Public access key or ARN role
- Associated clusters
Editing a Credential
Update Credential Properties
Modify key properties such as:
- Access keys
- Secret keys
- Configuration settings
Changes are saved and applied to the system immediately. Updated credentials will be used during the next deployment of each associated cluster.
Deleting a Credential
Remove Associations
If the credential is linked to clusters, remove the association from those clusters first
Best Practices
Review Usage Before Changes
Review Usage Before Changes
Always check associated clusters by clicking the View Associated Clusters button before editing or deleting credentials. This helps prevent disruptions during future deployments.
Use Descriptive Names
Use Descriptive Names
Assign clear, descriptive names to credentials for easier identification. Examples:
aws-prod-us-east-1gcp-staging-europeazure-dev-westus
Regular Credential Rotation
Regular Credential Rotation
Periodically rotate cloud credentials for security:
- Create new credentials in your cloud provider
- Edit the credential in Qovery with new values
- Deploy clusters to apply new credentials
- Delete old credentials from your cloud provider
Clean Up Unused Credentials
Clean Up Unused Credentials
Regularly review and delete unused credentials to maintain a secure environment and reduce clutter.
Use IAM Roles When Possible
Use IAM Roles When Possible
For AWS, prefer IAM roles over access keys for better security:
- More secure (no long-lived credentials)
- Easier to manage and rotate
- Better audit trail in CloudTrail
