This guide explains how to use Teleport to access your dev pod.

Prerequisites

Teleport support must be enabled manually for your workspace and node group(s) by NVIDIA. The instructions below will not work until this is complete. For more information, reach out to your NVIDIA TAM.

Once Teleport support is enabled in your Lepton workspace and node group(s), dev pods running within the node group(s) will display the following Teleport SSH Access information under the Connect tab:

teleport connect

Ensure you have the Teleport CLI (tsh) installed before proceeding.

Log in to Teleport

Before connecting, you need to log in to Teleport using the Teleport CLI with the command below. You'll need to do this once per session:
