# Autonomous Cloud Management

Learn how Sedai's AI-driven cloud management solution ensures continuous optimization and autonomous operations for your cloud environment. Follow our step-by-step guide.

Use AI/ML to proactively manage your compute, storage, and streaming resources. To get started, you will need permission to connect your cloud resources and monitoring data to Sedai.

### Step 1: Connect Cloud Resources

{% hint style="info" %}
You can connect any type of environment, but we recommend connecting production resources with consistent traffic and usage for best results. You can also get started with dev resources and add prod accounts when you're ready. Learn more about how Sedai [safely manages your resources](/get-started/onboarding/readme/safety-and-security.md) and how to modify [feature settings](/get-started/platform/settings/features.md) for integrated resources.
{% endhint %}

Log in to your Sedai account and navigate to **Settings > Integrations**. In the upper righthand corner of the screen, click **Add Cloud**.

Select the cloud resources you'd like to connect below to view a setup guide with required information and steps to get started. Once connected, Sedai will automatically import your resources.

### Python SDK and API Documentation

Sedai prioritizes accessibility and user-friendliness in our cloud management solutions. To achieve this,  all our features have been made accessible through APIs, providing users with seamless integration and adaptability. Our Python SDK acts as a simplified interface for a subset of these APIs, allowing developers to easily incorporate Sedai's capabilities into their applications. Presently, the SDK simplifies the process of onboarding new accounts and performing basic setup tasks.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.sedai.io/get-started/onboarding/autonomous-cloud-management.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
