Credentials

Credentials provide users with access to the Skpr platform.

These are typically provided using the following methods:

  • A Skpr platform representitive has provided them as a part of onboarding.
  • Manually gathered (or rotated) using the AWS Console

Credentials are then added to the following file:

$HOME/.skpr/credentials.yml

Below is an example of the credentials.yml file.

cluster.org1.skpr.io:
  aws:
    access_key_id: user1
    secret_access_key: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

cluster.org2.skpr.io:
  aws:
    access_key_id: user2
    secret_access_key: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Advanced

AWS Profile

Credentials can also be configured to use AWS named profiles.

cluster.org2.skpr.io:
  aws:
    profile: skpr-org2

Environment Variables

Credentials can also be configured using environment variables to provide a smooth experience for developers integrating Skpr into their CI/CD solution.

export SKPR_USERNAME=user1
export SKPR_PASSWORD=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
