Providers
Providers are an integration between a cloud service provider and ElemBio Cloud. Providers use a single source of credentials to connect provider features to the features and actions in ElemBio Cloud.
Different providers support different features in ElemBio Cloud. A provider that supports storage connections allows you to stream data directly to a cloud storage bucket. A provider that supports compute connections and flows allows you to complete assignment file generation or secondary analysis.
Provider Types
ElemBio Cloud supports the following provider integrations. For more information on adding a provider and provider requirements, see one of the following provider pages:

Provider Statuses
Each provider card has a badge that indicates one of the following connection statuses:
- Connected: ElemBio Cloud successfully verifies the integration and the temporary credentials for associated services.
- Unverified: Your integration and the credentials for associated services cannot be verified. The services associated with the provider are unavailable until the issue is resolved. To resolve, verify the provider, and then review any error messages that appear.
- Expired: ElemBio Catalyst subscription is expired, and the compute connection is disabled and cannot be used to upload runs. After 14 days from the expiration date, ElemBio Catalyst is no longer visible in AVITI OS. To resubscribe, contact Element Technical Support.
Managing Providers
The following buttons on the provider cards allow you to manage providers. The available actions are based on your user permissions.
- Verify: Verifies the permissions for data transfers.
- If the provider is connected, then a green success message appears.
- If a red error message appears, then review the error message to address the issue.
- Edit: Modifies the provider settings. Changes take effect immediately. When you update a credential, make sure that you update all credential fields.
- Delete: Deletes the provider and all associated services. When you are prompted, enter the name of the provider to confirm deletion. After you confirm the deletion, ElemBio Cloud deletes the provider and all associated services.
