Servers
Connect a cloud provider
Create servers in your own AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, DigitalOcean, Hetzner, Vultr or Akamai account.
When you connect a cloud provider, CloudPilot creates and sets up servers in your own account. The server and its bill stay with you.
Credentials each provider needs
| Provider | What to enter |
|---|---|
| AWS | Access key ID and secret access key |
| Google Cloud | Service account key (JSON) |
| Microsoft Azure | Tenant (directory) ID, client (application) ID, client secret and subscription ID |
| DigitalOcean | Personal access token |
| Hetzner | API token |
| Vultr | API key |
| Akamai (Linode) | Personal access token |
Pro and Business include one-click servers at every provider. Credentials are encrypted at rest and never shown again. Give them only the permissions needed to manage servers.
Create a server
- Go to Servers → Add server and choose the provider.
- Pick a Region close to your users and a Plan (server size) with at least 2 GB of RAM.
- Choose the Odoo version the server should prepare for, and create the server.
CloudPilot creates the machine, hardens it and installs the agent. Provider guides: AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, DigitalOcean, Hetzner, Vultr, Akamai.
