# Connect infrastructure

> Choose the right Cloudeval source path for Azure, ARM, Bicep, AWS CloudFormation beta, or GitHub repositories.

The source you choose determines which evidence Cloudeval can collect and which checks are applicable.

## Source decision

| Source                  | Best for                           | Important boundary                                             |
| ----------------------- | ---------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Azure Cloud sync        | Current deployed state             | Azure only; permissions and freshness matter                   |
| ARM or Bicep            | Pre-deployment Azure review        | Static source cannot prove live runtime state                  |
| AWS CloudFormation beta | Pre-deployment AWS template review | Static beta; no live AWS connection parity                     |
| GitHub repository       | Repeatable source-linked review    | Results depend on the selected ref, commit, and project config |
