It is pretty cumbersome to enter the key every time I create a new terminal session. The great option would be to be able to specify it in bash initialization files as an environment variable. For example:
export NGC_API_KEY=****
The NGC repository login is performed with the script at “~/.ngc-login.sh” The script is easy to edit/modify for your own environment/preferences.
If you find something that you like for long-term or scale out to multiple instances, you can use the “user-data” to configure instances at launch time.
