  #### B. Using the Assistant Tool to Configure `jcnr-secrets.yaml`

  **NOTE:** Ensure your license file is obtained from your account team and integrated correctly. Otherwise, the cRPD Pod might face issues.
 
+
+
+ ### Optional: Streamlined Configuration using `setup.sh` 
+
+ For those looking to simplify and automate the processes described in Sections 5 and 6, the provided `setup.sh` script under the `secrets` directory offers an all-in-one solution. This script serves two main purposes:
+
+ 1. **JCNR Secrets Configuration:** It automates the creation of the `jcnr-secrets.yaml` file, ensuring the JCNR secrets (license and root password) are appropriately set.
+ 2. **Labeling the EKS Worker Node:** It ensures that the necessary label (used for targeting by the DPDK environment setup) is added to the EKS worker node.
+
+ To utilize this streamlined approach, follow the steps below:
+
+ ```
+ cd ~/demo/secrets
+ ```
+
+ 2. Execute the `setup.sh` script:
+
+ ```
+ ./setup.sh
+ ```
+
+ Upon execution, the script will:
+
+ - Create and apply the `jcnr-secrets.yaml` file with the JCNR secrets.
+ - Add the `key1=jcnr` label to your EKS worker nodes, making them identifiable for the JCNR deployment.
+
+ **NOTE:** While the `setup.sh` script offers convenience, it's essential to understand the underlying manual steps (as detailed in Sections 5 & 6) to troubleshoot potential issues or customize configurations further.

  ### 7. AWS Marketplace Subscription for JCNR
 
  Before you can proceed with Helm setup and pull JCNR helm charts, you need to visit the AWS Marketplace and subscribe to the JCNR container product.
