Chapter 7 Configuring Cisco IAC With the Wizard

Connecting to the Cloud Infrastructure

platform elements that will be used in Cisco IAC. This information will be used by Cisco Process

Orchestrator to integrate with the various components involved in the cloud provisioning processes.

Note This step needs to be repeated multiple times for each Platform Element Infrastructure item you intend

to connect to.

Step 1 Log out of Cisco IAC, close your browser, and then restart it.

Step 2 Log back in to Cisco Intelligent Automation for Cloud as the Cloud Provider Technical Administrator

(CPTA) you created previously. (See Adding Cloud Administrators, page 7-10.)

Step 3 Once back in, start the Wizard again. Choose Setup > Configuration Wizard.

Step 4 Click Next.

You will be returned to STEP 3 of the Wizard, with two new tasks to complete.
