Details
The juju add-credential command operates in two modes.
When called with only the <cloud name> argument, juju add-credential will
take you through an interactive prompt to add a credential specific to
the cloud provider.
Providing the -f <credentials.yaml> option switches to the
non-interactive mode. <credentials.yaml> must be a path to a correctly
formatted YAML-formatted file.
Sample yaml file shows five credentials being stored against four clouds:
credentials:
aws:
<credential-name>:
auth-type: access-key
access-key: <key>
secret-key: <key>
azure:
<credential-name>:
auth-type: service-principal-secret
application-id: <uuid>
application-password: <password>
subscription-id: <uuid>
lxd:
<credential-a>:
auth-type: interactive
trust-password: <password>
<credential-b>:
auth-type: interactive
trust-password: <password>
google:
<credential-name>:
auth-type: oauth2
project-id: <project-id>
private-key: <private-key>
client-email: <email>
client-id: <client-id>
The <credential-name> parameter of each credential is arbitrary, but must be unique within each <cloud-name>. This allows each cloud to store multiple credentials.
The format for a credential is cloud-specific. Thus, it’s best to use ‘add-credential’ command in an interactive mode. This will result in adding this new credential locally and / or uploading it to a controller in a correct format for the desired cloud.
Notes:
If you are setting up Juju for the first time, consider running
juju autoload-credentials. This may allow you to skip adding
credentials manually.
This command does not set default regions nor default credentials for the
cloud. The commands juju default-region and juju default-credential
provide that functionality.
Use --controller option to upload a credential to a controller.
Use --client option to add a credential to the current client.
