# Guides

> Use Cloud Adapter with familiar infrastructure and cloud tooling.

Cloud Adapter implements a supported origin cloud API at the application boundary. That means many tools can work through it without a Tensor9-specific provider: configure the tool to use the adapter endpoint, then verify the operations and resource behavior your workflow needs.

<Note>
  Tool compatibility is directional and service-specific. A tool can use an origin adapter when its services and operations appear in the service catalog under that cloud.

## How to read these guides

Every guide follows the same loop:

1. Configure the tool's endpoint and credentials.
2. Run a read-only smoke test.
3. Create one uniquely named test resource.
4. Verify the origin-shaped response and target-cloud state.
5. Exercise one expected failure before expanding the workload.
6. Use [tuning](/cloud-adapter/tuning/overview), [debugging](/cloud-adapter/debugging/overview) and [local testing](/cloud-adapter/local-testing/overview) to investigate differences.

Do not infer support from a tool's provider name. The adapter's service reference is authoritative.
