Application keys

CelerData Cloud BYOC allows you to generate keys for use with the CelerData Cloud BYOC API and the CelerData Cloud BYOC provider on Terraform. The CelerData Cloud BYOC API helps you automate processes that would otherwise be performed through the user interface.

In addition to application keys, CelerData also supports access control to these services with service account, which are independent identities that do not depend on any CelerData members. For more information, see Service account.
