# Application services

Create Devolutions Cloud application services for scheduled reports, the encryption service, and privileged access management, each tied to an identity.

Three application services can be created in Devolutions Cloud: the [Scheduled reports](/cloud/web-interface/reports/scheduled-reports.md) service, the [Encryption service](/cloud/web-interface/administration/configuration-and-security/access-and-authentication/encryption-service.md), and the [Privileged access management (PAM)](https://docs.devolutions.net/pam) service.

### Creating an application service

To create a new application service, head over to ***Administration***, and click on the ***Application services*** button under ***Configuration & Security***.

Then, click on the ***Add*** (+) button, and select the desired application service to create. Some information is needed to be provided in order for them to work, such as a ***Name***, a ***Description***, and an [***Application identity***](/cloud/web-interface/administration/management/application-identities/manage-application-identities.md).

{% hint style="info" %}
To monitor a self-hosted encryption service, use its `/healthz` endpoint. The Docker image of the encryption service listens on port `5133` inside the container. See [Monitoring and health check](/cloud/web-interface/administration/configuration-and-security/access-and-authentication/encryption-service/configure-devolutions-cloud-encryption-service-using-an-azure-template.md#monitoring-and-health-check).
{% endhint %}

# 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 by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.devolutions.net/cloud/web-interface/administration/configuration-and-security/application-services.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 `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` 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.
