The Soda Agent communicates with your Soda Cloud account using API public and private keys. Note that the keys a Soda Agent uses are different from the API keys Soda Library uses to connect to Soda Cloud.
- If you have not already done so, create a Soda Cloud account at cloud.soda.io. If you already have a Soda account, log in.
- In your Soda Cloud account, navigate to your avatar > Data Sources, then navigate to the Agents tab. Click New Soda Agent.
- The dialog box that appears offers abridged instructions to set up a new Soda Agent from the command-line; more thorough instructions exist in this documentation, below.
For now, copy and paste the values for both the API Key ID and API Key Secret to a temporary, secure place in your local environment. You will need these values when you deploy the agent in your Kubernetes cluster.

- You can keep the dialog box open in Soda Cloud, or close it.
