# blossom cloud_provider:check

Check cloud provider credentials

## Usage

    blossom cloud_provider:check --id ID

## Flags

| Flag | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `--id (required)` | Cloud provider id |

Examples:

    blossom cloud_provider:check --id cloud_provider-100
    BLOSSOM_OUTPUT=json blossom cloud_provider:check --id cloud_provider-100

Checks whether Blossom can connect to the cloud provider with its saved
credentials.

Run this after creating or updating a cloud provider:

    blossom cloud_provider:create --data cloud_provider.yml
    blossom cloud_provider:check --id cloud_provider-100

The check uses the same provider-specific validation as the Blossom web UI.
When the check fails, Blossom prints the issue and a help link when one is
available. JSON output includes links under `meta.links`.
