Accounts & Supported Providers
How MCM connects to cloud and infrastructure providers, and which providers are supported.
Accounts & Supported Providers
An account in MCM is a credential-backed connection to a cloud provider, source control system, container registry, or host. Connecting an account is a one-time step — every MCM module (Discovery, FinOps, Governance, SecOps, Orchestration, and Observability) then uses that connection without any per-module credential setup.
Connecting an Account
MCM provides a guided onboarding wizard for each provider type, with permission templates and step-by-step validation. Each connected account shows a live connection status — Active, Warning, or Failed — so credential issues are visible before they cause module outages.
Every account belongs to an enterprise. For AWS, you can onboard an entire AWS Organization in one step: connect the management account and MCM previews and onboards its member accounts, with consolidated billing and organization-wide cloud activity monitoring. Access to individual accounts can be granted per user through roles.
