// tag::cloud[]
When you create a cluster, {ess} automatically registers a default
{cloud}/ec-snapshot-restore.html[`found-snapshots`] repository. This repository
supports {search-snaps}.

The `found-snapshots` repository is specific to your cluster. To use another
cluster's default repository, refer to the Cloud
{cloud}/ec-snapshot-restore.html[Snapshot and restore] documentation.

You can also use any of the following custom repository types with {search-snaps}:

* {cloud}/ec-gcs-snapshotting.html[Google Cloud Storage (GCS)]
* {cloud}/ec-azure-snapshotting.html[Azure Blob Storage]
* {cloud}/ec-aws-custom-repository.html[Amazon Web Services (AWS)]
