# Step 1 – Retrieve the address and secret for the target AWS PCS cluster
<a name="working-with_login-nodes_standalone_get-addr"></a>

Retrieve details about the target AWS PCS cluster using the AWS CLI with the command that follows. Before running the command, make the following replacements:
+ Replace *region-code* with the AWS Region where the target cluster is running.
+ Replace *cluster-ident* with the name or identifier for the target cluster

```
aws pcs get-cluster --region region-code --cluster-identifier cluster-ident
```

The command will return output similar to this example.

```
{
    "cluster": {
        "name": "get-started",
        "id": "pcs_123456abcd",
        "arn": "arn:aws:pcs:us-east-1:111122223333:cluster/pcs_123456abcd",
        "status": "ACTIVE",
        "createdAt": "2024-12-17T21:03:52+00:00",
        "modifiedAt": "2024-12-17T21:03:52+00:00",
        "scheduler": {
            "type": "SLURM",
            "version": "25.05"
        },
        "size": "SMALL",
        "slurmConfiguration": {
            "authKey": {
                "secretArn": "arn:aws:secretsmanager:us-east-1:111122223333:secret:pcs!slurm-secret-pcs_123456abcd-a12ABC",
                "secretVersion": "ef232370-d3e7-434c-9a87-ec35c1987f75"
            }
        },
        "networking": {
            "subnetIds": [
                "subnet-0123456789abcdef0"
            ],
            "securityGroupIds": [
                "sg-0123456789abcdef0"
            ]
        },
        "endpoints": [
            {
                "type": "SLURMCTLD",
                "privateIpAddress": "10.3.149.220",
                "port": "6817"
            }
        ]
    }
}
```

In this sample, the cluster Slurm controller endpoint has an IP address of `10.3.149.220` and it is running on port `6817`. The `secretArn` will be used in later steps to retrieve the cluster secret. The IP address and port will be used in later steps to configure the `sackd` service.
