`MAZENG-FT-8` · Connect and validate a supported cloud account

Feature intent

A user needs to prove usable access to a cloud account before Maze relies on that connection.

Why it matters

A user needs to prove usable access to a cloud account before Maze relies on that connection.

Avoids repeated credential entry and catches unusable credentials before they affect project work.

Select AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, or IBM Cloud as the connection provider.
Collect the selected provider's required credential fields.
Validate credentials before saving a connection.
Name and describe the validated connection and save it for reuse.
Support the registered-device QR handoff only if that interaction is explicitly retained in Next Gen scope.

Acceptance

01
The credential form reflects the selected provider's requirements.
02
Invalid credentials cannot advance to a usable saved connection.
03
Valid credentials create a named connection visible in account settings.
04
Cancellation or failed device confirmation leaves no usable connection behind.

None recorded.

The Feature depends on external provider APIs and maintained provider-specific credential schemas.
The optional QR handoff depends on registered-device behavior from MAZENG-FT-6.
Secure secret storage, encryption, rotation, and key-recovery behavior require Architecture and security decisions.

No authoritative Architecture tasks are linked.
