Providers

Providers represent the cloud credentials and infrastructure integrations connecting Aegis to upstream Large Language Model (LLM) platforms.

Aegis acts as a security buffer between your client applications and LLM vendors. By managing raw service credentials centrally in the Gateway, developer applications call Aegis via Virtual Keys while Aegis securely authenticates with Google Cloud, AWS, Azure, or OpenAI.

Supported Provider Types​

Aegis natively supports multi-cloud provider integration:
