+## Configure datasource with provisioning
+
+Its now possible to configure datasources using config files with Grafanas [provisioning system](/administration/provisioning/#datasources).
+Here is an example of how you can configure the Cloudwatch datasource using configuration.
+
+Using a credentials file
+```yaml
+apiVersion: 1
+
+datasources:
+  - name: Cloudwatch
+    type: cloudwatch
+    jsonData:
+      authType: credentials
+      defaultRegion: eu-west-2
+```
+
+Using `accessKey` and `secretKey`
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: 1
+
+datasources:
+  - name: Cloudwatch
+    type: cloudwatch
+    jsonData:
+      authType: keys
+      defaultRegion: eu-west-2
+    secureJsonData:
+      accessKey: "<your access key>"
+      secretKey: "<your secret key>"
