Authenticate agentless integrations using cloud connectors
Serverless Security Stack
Cloud connector authentication for agentless integrations reduces the administrative burden of authentating to third-party cloud service providers by eliminating the need to keep track of credentials such as API keys or passwords. Cloud connectors provide a reusable, secure-by-default means of authentication, helping you to manage deployments with many integrations collecting data from multiple cloud security providers.
Cloud connector authentication currently supports deployments of Elastic's Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) and Asset Discovery integrations to AWS and Azure. For deployment instructions, refer to:
- Asset Discovery: Asset Discovery on Azure; Asset Discovery on AWS
- CSPM: CSPM on Azure; CSPM on AWS
To use cloud connector authentication for an AWS integration, your Kibana instance must be hosted on AWS. In other words, you must have chosen AWS hosting during Kibana setup.
