To get started, you will need to authenticate with your cloud accounts. AutoCloud will only ask for read-only access to your resources. On AWS, this can be done with a cross-account role. On Azure, this is done using a service principal and client secret. On GCP, this is done via a service account key. This is the dashboard page you will see once you've hooked up your first cloud account:

Next up we will create a Service Discovery to get a view of assets currently running in a cloud account. In this case, we picked AWS as a provider.

Follow these steps to create your first Account.

1. Go to Accounts.
2. Click on "Create New" in the top right corner.
3. Pick a provider.
