# Predefined Providers

By assigning a **provider** [Tag](/manual/features/tips-and-hints/tags.md) to an instance, you can easily identify and filter instances according to the platform they are hosted on, such as [Amazon Web Services](https://aws.amazon.com/) (AWS), [Google Cloud Platform](https://cloud.google.com/) (GCP), [Microsoft Azure](https://azure.microsoft.com/), or [Fujitsu Enterprise Postgres](https://www.postgresql.fastware.com/).

{% hint style="info" %}
Omitting the **provider** tag is also an option.
{% endhint %}

## How it Works

In the [Agentless approach](/manual/features/other-features/agentless-monitoring.md), the user interface offers a pre-configured dropdown list for effortless provider selection for your instance.

For alternative configuration methods, such as [Agent-based](/manual/implementation/agent-usage.md) or [API](/manual/implementation/platform-usage/api-reference/connection.md) approaches, specify the **provider** Tag and choose from the predefined options available

* amazon-aws
* microsoft-azure
* google-cloud
* fujitsu-enterprise-postgres

## Interactive Demo

{% hint style="info" %}
The user interface is enriched by adding provider icons next to each related PostgreSQL instance, simplifying both navigation and instance recognition
{% endhint %}

> Feel free to request the addition of new providers that align with your needs.
