Working with cluster secrets in AWS PCS
As part of creating a cluster, AWS PCS creates a cluster secret that is required to connect to the job scheduler on the cluster. You also create AWS PCS compute node groups, which define sets of instances to launch in response to scaling events. AWS PCS configures instances launched by those compute node groups with the cluster secret so they can connect to the job scheduler. There are cases where you might want to configure Slurm clients manually. Examples include building a persistent login node or setting up a workflow manager with job management capabilities.
AWS PCS stores the cluster secret as a managed secret with the prefix pcs! in
AWS Secrets Manager. The cost of the secret is included in the charge for using AWS PCS.
Warning
Don't modify your cluster secret. AWS PCS won't be able to communicate with your cluster if you modify your cluster secret. AWS PCS doesn't support rotation of the cluster secret. You must create a new cluster if you need to modify your cluster secret.
