Create your first environment

Press Create environment, and provide an environment name:
Connect data warehouse
You can connect Elementary to a data warehouse that has an Elementary schema (created by the Elementary dbt package).
Elementary Cloud needs:
- Read permissions to the Elementary schema (and not the rest of your data)
- Network access (might require to allowlist Elementary IP address)
Which data warehouse do you wish to connect?
Allowlist Elementary IP
Elementary IP for allowlist: 3.126.156.226
Need help with onboarding?
We can provide support on Slack or hop on an onboarding call.
What happens now?
Once Elementary Cloud successfully connects to you data warehouse, it will start syncing data from the Elementary schema to cloud. This data includes tests results, run results, metadata and configuration. If you see data in the Elementary Dashboard you completed your connection (Congrats! 🎉).
The syncs happen by default once an hour, but you can also configure a triggered sync to get a near real time experience.
