Details:

Juju needs to know how to connect to clouds. A cloud definition describes a cloud’s endpoints and authentication requirements. Each definition is stored and accessed later as .

If you are accessing a public cloud, running add-cloud is unlikely to be necessary. Juju already contains definitions for the public cloud providers it supports.

add-cloud operates in two modes:

juju add-cloud
juju add-cloud <cloud name> <cloud definition file>

When invoked without arguments, add-cloud begins an interactive session designed for working with private clouds. The session will enable you to instruct Juju how to connect to your private cloud.

A cloud definition can be provided in a file either as an option --f or as a positional argument:

juju add-cloud mycloud ~/mycloud.yaml
juju add-cloud mycloud -f ~/mycloud.yaml

When is provided with , Juju will validate the content of the file and add this cloud to this client as well as upload it to a controller.

Use --controller option to upload a cloud to a controller.

Use --client option to add cloud to the current client.

DEPRECATED (use update-credential instead): If already exists on this client, then the --replace option is required.

A cloud definition file has the following YAML format:

    clouds:                           # mandatory
      mycloud:                        # <cloud name> argument
        type: openstack               # <cloud type>, see below
            auth-types: [ userpass ]
                regions:
                  london:
                    endpoint: https://london.mycloud.com:35574/v3.0/

for private clouds:

 - lxd
 - maas
 - manual
 - openstack
 - vsphere

for public clouds:

 - azure
 - cloudsigma
 - ec2
 - gce
 - oci

When a running controller is updated, the credential for the cloud is also uploaded. As with the cloud, the credential needs to have been added to the current client, use add-credential to do that. If there’s only one credential for the cloud it will be uploaded to the controller automatically by add-cloud command. However, if the cloud has multiple credentials on this client you can specify which to upload with the --credential option.

When adding clouds to a controller, some clouds are whitelisted and can be easily added:

• controller cloud type “kubernetes” supports [lxd maas openstack]
• controller cloud type “lxd” supports [lxd maas openstack]
• controller cloud type “maas” supports [maas openstack]
• controller cloud type “openstack” supports [openstack]

Other cloud combinations can only be force added as the user must consider network routability, etc - concerns that are outside of scope of Juju. When forced addition is desired, use --force.

Examples:

juju add-cloud
juju add-cloud --force
juju add-cloud mycloud ~/mycloud.yaml
juju add-cloud --controller mycontroller mycloud 
juju add-cloud --controller mycontroller mycloud --credential mycred
juju add-cloud --client mycloud ~/mycloud.yaml
