System Initiative

# Cloud Providers System Initiative connects to cloud providers to manage your infrastructure. Each provider integrates differently based on their APIs and authentication methods. ## Supported Providers System Initiative currently supports the following cloud providers: - [AWS (Amazon Web Services)](./aws.md) - Full support with multiple authentication methods - [Azure (Microsoft Azure)](./azure.md) - Beta support with Service Principal authentication - [DigitalOcean](./digital-ocean.md) - Beta support with API token authentication - [Hetzner Cloud](./hetzner.md) - Beta support with API token authentication ## How Provider Integration Works System Initiative connects to cloud providers through their official APIs: - **API Integration**: Each provider uses its native API (AWS Cloud Control API, Azure ARM REST API, or OpenAPI specifications) - **Authentication**: Credentials are managed through secure credential components in your workspace - **Discovery**: You can discover existing infrastructure from your cloud accounts - **Management**: Create, update, and delete resources through System Initiative's unified interface ## Request Additional Provider Support Need support for a provider not listed here?
