Adding Resource Credentials
You need to add credentials for accessing your source resources to Edge, so that Edge can collect information about them and migrate them to Huawei Cloud. Credentials added to Edge are encrypted and stored locally, and will not be synced to MgC.
Credentials you add to Edge are valid for three days. After the validity period expires, you need to add the credentials to Edge again if you still want to discover or migrate the resources.
Prerequisites
Edge has been installed on a device in your source environment, and the Edge device has been connected to MgC.
Authentication Methods
You can add credentials of the following types of resources to Edge: private clouds, servers, and containers. For details about the authentication methods supported for each resource type, see Table 1.
