Sign up for Union.ai
Here you create your account and an organization. Your organization is your workspace in Union.ai. It holds your projects, workflows, resources and team members, and everything you do afterward happens inside it.
Once it exists, you can run a workflow on your own machine and follow it in the Union.ai UI, so you can see how Union.ai works before connecting any infrastructure.
What you’ll need
A Google or Microsoft account for work. Union.ai sign-up is currently only available through these identity providers.
Create your account
Go to signup.hosted.unionai.cloud and select Continue with Google or Continue with Microsoft. Choose the account you want to use for Union.ai.
Your organization needs to be associated with a subscription. If you do not have one yet, select Sign up via AWS Marketplace on the sign-up page and subscribe there first. You return to this step after you complete the subscription.
Create your organization
The organization is the top-level workspace in Union.ai. It is where your projects, workflows, resources, and team members live.
-
Organization name. This becomes your organization’s web address, so it must be unique across Union.ai, and it cannot be changed later. Use lowercase letters, digits, and hyphens. As you type, Union.ai checks whether the name is available.
-
Preferred Union region. This is where your control plane runs. The control plane is the Union.ai service that manages your workflows, metadata, and user interface. You should choose the region closest to where you plan to install your data plane.
-
Select Create Organization.
Union.ai sets up your organization in about thirty seconds. You’ll see each step complete: receiving the request, creating the organization, setting up sign-in, preparing your workspace, and finalizing.
Open your organization
When setup finishes, Union.ai takes you to your organization’s home page. Your organization’s address, in the form <your-org>.hosted.unionai.cloud, is in your browser’s address bar. You’ll need it when you
set up the CLI.
Choose how to start
The home page offers two ways to start:
- Run something locally.
- Connect your cluster.
The local route works straight away. You can connect a cluster at any time.
Run something locally
Select Show me how on the Run something locally card for a short in-app guide: install the SDK, create a config file that points at your organization, and write a first workflow.
Run your first workflow locally covers the same steps as the in-product guide.
Provision and connect
When you are ready to run workflows on your AWS infrastructure, continue with:
- Provision your AWS resources. Optional if you already have AWS resources that meet the requirements.
- Connect your cluster
