The following public and private cloud providers are supported for use with Cloud Mobility:
Selecting Cloud Providers on the Cloud Mobility Dashboard opens the Cloud Providers page, as shown in Figure 12. The Cloud Providers page displays the configured providers, status, capacity used, and additional details. From this page, cloud providers are created, modified, or deleted.
To create a cloud provider:
Cloud provider type | Fields |
ECS |
|
Amazon S3 (AWS) |
|
Azure |
|
* Fields are required
Note: If a bucket or container name is not provided, it will be generated using the prefix of “dellemc-<cloud_provider_id>”.
After successfully adding the provider, a window is presented to create a snapshot policy for the cloud provider as shown in the following figure.
It may be necessary to modify the cloud provider name or connection details after creation. Performing rotations of the keys used is a best practice. Depending on the cloud provider type, only the parameters in the following table are available to be modified.
Cloud provider type | Modify fields |

Once a cloud provider is no longer in use, it can be deleted from the cloud system. Before deleting a provider, all associated cloud snapshot policies and cloud snapshots must be deleted.
