Providers
Providers are an integration between a cloud service provider and ElemBio Cloud. Providers use a single source of credentials to connect provider features with 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 flows allows you to complete FASTQ file generation or secondary analysis.
