Manage cloud accounts
The Cloud accounts page lists every connected AWS account. Open an account to review its status, adjust settings, and manage the connection.
Accounts list
Each account shows its name and AWS account ID, the provider (AWS), whether remote command (SSM) is enabled, the connection Status, the owner, and when it was last synced.
Account status can be:
- Active — connected and syncing.
- Pending / Verifying — connection is being set up or validated.
- Failed — verification failed; re-verify or reconnect.
- Disabled — connection is turned off.
Account settings
Open an account to view its Configuration:
- Auto-provision agent — automatically install the agent on newly discovered instances.
- Remote command — allow agent installation via AWS SSM.
- Sync interval — how often Alpacon refreshes the inventory (default every 5 minutes).
- Registration token — the server registration token used when onboarding instances.
Click Edit to change any of these settings, or to pause background discovery (Sync enabled).
The account detail page also shows an inventory summary (total instances, how many have the agent installed, and how many are pending) and the granted IAM role (AlpaconCrossAccountRole).
Sync and verify
- Sync now — queue an immediate inventory refresh instead of waiting for the next scheduled sync.
- Verify credentials — re-test that Alpacon can assume the account’s IAM role, for example after a status of Failed.
Disconnect an account
Click Disconnect account and confirm. Already-discovered instances stay, but the account stops syncing. To fully revoke Alpacon’s access, delete the AlpaconConnect CloudFormation stack in your AWS account.
