instabox

Connect your own instabox account and create cloud computers billed to it.

An Administrator can connect an existing instabox account. Computers you create on it are billed by instabox to that account, not to your Pangea plan.

Connect

1. Open the instabox dashboard and go to API keys, or run instabox keys create. Create a dedicated key for Pangea.
2. Copy the key. It starts with ibk_.
3. In Connectors → Connect → instabox, enter a label and the key.

Pangea encrypts the key before storage. Agents never see it.

Choose the computer provider

When you create a new cloud computer, review the provider choice and pick the connected instabox account on purpose. Check instabox's prices and account limits before you provision.

To verify the binding, check that the account appears in the provider choices for a new computer. Creating a machine is a separate, billable action, not a connection test. Model subscriptions for agent runtimes are billed separately too. See Plans and billing.

Retire access

Before you remove the binding, list the computers and charges on the account. Disconnecting the key does not delete those machines. Remove machines you no longer need, then revoke the key in instabox.
