How to provision cloud databases with your AI

Connect Clever Cloud to your AI client once. From then on, you can manage your infrastructure through conversation.

Ask AI about this page

Short answer

Can I create Redis or other databases using my AI?

Yes. You tell your agent what kind of database you need, and it uses the Clever Cloud API to provision it. This gives you direct control over your addons through chat.

Infrastructure outcomes

What you get

The results of your conversation with your agent.

PROVISION

New instances live

Your agent calls the API to create a new Redis or database addon. You get a ready-to-use service without touching a dashboard.

INVENTORY

Current setup view

Ask your agent to list what you already have running. It pulls your active addons so you can see your current footprint.

DETAILS

Specific addon data

Get the exact configuration or status of a specific database. Your agent fetches the details for the exact addon you ask about.

HUMAN

Manual oversight

You stay in control of the final decisions. The AI handles the API calls, but you decide when to pull the trigger.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The AI translates your intent into specific API actions.

  1. Identify needs

    Your agent looks at your request to determine if you want to create something new or check on an existing service.

    list_addons

  2. Fetch existing data

    If you ask about a specific database, the agent pulls the current state and configuration from Clever Cloud.

    get_addon

  3. Execute creation

    When you ask for a new instance, the agent sends the command to provision the specific addon you requested.

    provision_addon

  4. Confirm status

    The agent verifies the addon was created or retrieved correctly to ensure your environment is ready.

    get_addonlist_addons
