Give access to the Flexibility cloud server

This document explains the steps to connect to your Flexibility cloud server.

To connect, you need to have your ssh key allowed. The connection also has an IP-range restriction. Thus you need to allow both SSH key and IP addresses to access your Cloud environments.

The Project manager on the customer side and the system integrator are the only ones allowed to add or remove SSH accesses or whitelist IP addresses on a given cloud instance for the contacts from their company.
