Credentials

Credentials allow your workloads to pull private container images and access external storage.

Types of Credentials

Type	Purpose
Docker Registry	Pull images from NGC or private registries
S3	Access training data or model artifacts in S3 buckets
Generic Secret	Custom key-value pairs for your workloads

Creating Docker Registry Credentials

To pull images from NVIDIA NGC:

1. Go to Credentials in the Run:AI UI
2. Click New Credential
3. Select Docker Registry
4. Fill in:
5. Name: ngc-registry
6. Registry URL: nvcr.io
7. Username: $oauthtoken
8. Password: Your NGC API key

Your NGC API key is available on your lab handout sheet. Do not share it with others.

Using Credentials in Workloads

When creating a workspace or training job, select your credential in the Image Pull Secret dropdown. This tells Kubernetes to use those credentials when pulling the container image.
