Instructions do not work as documented because access to neuron-s3 bucket is forbidden

[ajayvohra2005]

The README to create parallel cluster does not specify that bucket name neuron-s3 needs to be replaced with a customer bucket name. The default neuron-s3 bucket name does not work due to Forbidden Access. The Custom Script Update does talk about how to update bucket-name and use a custom script, but it does not indicate that it is required.

aws s3 ls s3://neuron-s3/pcluster/post-install-scripts/neuron-installation/v2.13.0/u20/pt/install_neuron.sh

An error occurred (AccessDenied) when calling the ListObjectsV2 operation: Access Denied

Hi @ajayvohra2005,

The bucket is not enabled for listing of content, only for downloading. If you use "aws s3 cp" command it will work.

dev-dsk-jthuynh-2b-9c72f245 % aws s3 cp s3://neuron-s3/pcluster/post-install-scripts/neuron-installation/v2.13.0/u20/pt/install_neuron.sh .
download: s3://neuron-s3/pcluster/post-install-scripts/neuron-installation/v2.13.0/u20/pt/install_neuron.sh to ./install_neuron.sh

We will clarify this in the documentation.

The issue is that when one creates a parallel cluster using pcluster CLI command, one gets an error message about the forbidden access, even though, based on what you are noting above, the error message may not be accurate.
