Create an AWS user

If you haven’t already, create an AWS user for your team member. You can either create a IAM user or an Identity Center user.

IAM users are specific to one AWS account and have long-term credentials like passwords and access keys, making them suitable for applications needing consistent access. In contrast, Identity Center users can access multiple AWS accounts and applications using temporary credentials through single sign-on (SSO), which is more secure and easier to manage for human users needing access to various resources.

Follow this blog to add an Identity Center User: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/singlesignon/latest/userguide/addusers.html.

  3. Get Principal ARN for your user: Run the command tensorkube get-principal-arn. This will output the principal ARN that the cluster owner must use to give access

​
Instructions for the cluster creator

tensorkube give-cluster-access --principal-arn ARN_FROM_STEP_3

​
Instructions for your team mate
