 The @DriverVersion@ is the version of the CUDA toolkit installed in your compute image (in X.Y format, do not include the patchlevel).  The @HardwareCapability@ is the CUDA compute capability of the GPUs available for this instance type.  The @DeviceCount@ is the number of GPU cores available for this instance type.

+h3. AWS Credentials for Local Keepstore on Compute node
+
+When @Containers/LocalKeepBlobBuffersPerVCPU@ is non-zero, the compute node will spin up a local Keepstore service for faster storage access. If Keep is backed by S3, the compute node will need to be able to access the S3 bucket.
+
+If the AWS credentials for S3 access are configured in @config.yml@ (i.e. @Volumes/DriverParameters/AccessKeyID@ and @Volumes/DriverParameters/SecretAccessKey@), these credentials will be made available to the local Keepstore on the compute node to access S3 directly and no further configuration is necessary.
+
+Alternatively, if an IAM role is configured in @config.yml@ (i.e. @Volumes/DriverParameters/IAMRole@), the name of an instance profile that corresponds to this role ("often identical to the name of the IAM role":https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/iam-roles-for-amazon-ec2.html#ec2-instance-profile) must be configured in the @CloudVMs/DriverParameters/IAMInstanceProfile@ parameter.
+
+Finally, if @config.yml@ does not have @Volumes/DriverParameters/AccessKeyID@, @Volumes/DriverParameters/SecretAccessKey@ or @Volumes/DriverParameters/IAMRole@ defined, Keepstore uses the IAM role attached to the node, whatever it may be called. The @CloudVMs/DriverParameters/IAMInstanceProfile@ parameter must then still be configured with the name of a profile whose IAM role has permission to access the S3 bucket(s). That way, @arvados-dispatch-cloud@ can attach the IAM role to the compute node as it is created.
