Access Key ​

When using the Deployer launched from a cloud provider template (AWS, Azure, GCP), a key called the Deployer Access Key is required to proceed. Its role is to protect the hosted web application from arbitrary users. If the Deployer VM is suspended, restarted or destroyed, or launched from the CLI, this access key is no longer valid. The Deployer will not function if this key is not entered correctly on the welcome page.

When launching from the cloud provider, the deployer access key is provided in the following locations:

Cloud ProviderLocation
AWSin the CloudFormation output variables
Azurein the Deployment outputs section
GCPin the console printed from the Deployer VM, similar to below
|
|  Please visit the URL https://<ipaddress>:<port> and provide the Deployer Access Key 8d9afd724bf89c111ff69efbfe499fa6
|

Similarly, if launched from the cloud provider without the deployment template provided by Yellowbrick, the access key is found in the Deployer VM logs. To directly obtain the Access Key key from the Deployer VM:

  • SCP file /tmp/install.log or
  • SSH to the launched deployer VM and invoke journalctl -u yb-install.service
