# Ingest Cloud Resources from Prisma Cloud

The Cortex Xpanse integration with Prisma Cloud enables Xpanse to ingest cloud context through Prisma Cloud from Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Microsoft Azure, and Alibaba Cloud.

The Cortex Xpanse integration with Prisma Cloud is a multi-purpose integration that enables you to accomplish the following:

* Identify rogue cloud and shadow IT instances not covered inside Prisma Cloud.
* Gain visibility into cloud asset sprawl, irrespective of the provider (for example, assets in IBM, OCI, Rackspace, Digital Ocean, etc.).
* Bring unmanaged assets under management by consolidating Xpanse-discovered assets within Prisma Cloud
* Reduce mean time to discovery (MTTD) and mean time to recovery (MTTR) by automatically monitoring accidentally exposed services running on your internet-facing cloud assets.

To set up the integration between Cortex Xpanse and Prisma Cloud, perform the following tasks:

* [Generate an API Access Key in Prisma Cloud](/cortex-xpanse/integrations/ingest-cloud-resources-from-prisma-cloud/generate-an-api-access-key-in-prisma-cloud.md)
* [Configure the Prisma Cloud Integration in Cortex Xpanse](/cortex-xpanse/integrations/ingest-cloud-resources-from-prisma-cloud/configure-the-prisma-cloud-integration-in-cortex-xpanse.md)

You can use the Prisma Cloud integration to identify your **Unmanaged Prisma Cloud**, which consists of your cloud assets that were discovered by Xpanse but are not in your Prisma Cloud inventory and **Managed Prisma Cloud**, which consists of cloud assets that were discovered by Xpanse exclusively and are in your Prisma Cloud inventory. For more information about managing your unmanaged and managed Prisma Cloud inventory in Expander, see [Cloud Inventory](/cortex-xpanse/inventory/asset-types/cloud-inventory.md). For a list of the types of resources that can be ingested into Cortex Xpanse, see [Prisma Cloud resource types](/cortex-xpanse/integrations/ingest-cloud-resources-from-prisma-cloud/prisma-cloud-resource-types.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-xpanse/integrations/ingest-cloud-resources-from-prisma-cloud.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
