description: Helios is Cohesity's SaaS-based control plane that manages a fleet of Cohesity clusters from
  a single global pane of glass. The Helios REST API authenticates via an apiKey generated from the Helios
  UI and passed in the request header, supports both v1 and v2 endpoint families, and lets customers list
  and operate registered clusters, run protection jobs, manage policies, and access reporting and analytics
  globally.
