# Signing up and onboarding

Learn how to connect and import organizations and projects from your DevOps platform into SonarQube Cloud.

This page is directed at administrators when onboarding their first DevOps platform organization. For sign-in instructions, see [Signing in to SonarQube Cloud](/sonarqube-cloud/managing-your-account/signing-in.md).

If you want to use the US region, you’ll have to sign up for the SonarQube Cloud’s US instance. For more information, see [Choosing your server region](/sonarqube-cloud/getting-started/choosing-your-region.md).

When you first sign up for SonarQube Cloud, you have to choose which DevOps platform you want to connect to. Then sign in to SonarQube Cloud with your existing credentials on that service (there is no such thing as a SonarQube Cloud-only account). Your SonarQube Cloud account will be created and bound to your account on the DevOps platform. For more information, see [Authentication](https://www.sonarsource.com/trust-center/#authentication) in the Trust Center.

At this point, you can import organizations from your DevOps platform to SonarQube Cloud and then import repositories from those organizations. Each imported organization becomes a SonarQube Cloud organization and each imported repository becomes a SonarQube Cloud project. Once you import a project, it appears on your **My Projects** page.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## 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 following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-cloud/getting-started/sign-up.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `build a script that syncs our docs to a CMS` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
