Cloud providers need to create #CloudProvidersAccountExporter objects for every account they like to expose to the API and use the #CloudProvidersAccountExporter API to set the properties of the accounts. Also a #CloudProvidersProviderExporter needs to be created in order to hold all the #CloudProvidersAccountExporter objects that will be added to the provider when created. #CloudProvidersProviderExporter also export properties that define the provider that can be set using the #CloudProvidersProviderExporter API.
To register your cloud provider, you need to expose the interface it is implementing in its desktop file

In previous versions, to register your cloud provider you needed to provide a file in DATADIR/cloud-providers. This way of registering providers is still working but is not compatible with containerization.
