User Credentials

Credentials allow users to securely store private authentication secrets, which are accessible only to the user who created them. These credentials can be used to authorize access to external systems and services. You can create:

• Docker registry credentials - Used to authenticate and pull container images from private Docker registries. These credentials are used as image pull secrets during workload submission.

• Generic secrets - A flexible option for storing key/value pairs such as API keys or configuration data. These credentials can be injected into workloads as environment variables.

• NGC API key - Used to securely store the NGC API key for authenticated access to restricted data in the NGC catalog. These credentials can be injected into workloads to access the NGC catalog and as environment variables.

Note

User credentials will be propagated to all clusters from versions 2.22 onwards.
