-## Using SSO
-
-Terraform does not support SSO correctly until v1.6., you can however, export the required variables to make it work
-
-Create an SSO profile as usual
-
-```shell
-[profile simulator-sso]
-sso_start_url = ...
-sso_region = ...
-sso_account_id = ...
-sso_role_name = ...
-region = ...
-output = ...
-```
-
-Then, before running a `simulator image` or `simulator infra` command, ensure you have the required environment
-variables set by running the following.
-
-```shell
-export AWS_REGION=...
-aws sso login --profile simulator-sso
-source <(aws configure export-credentials --format env)
-```
-
-Alternatively, you can use an SSO profile to perform an STS Assume Role
-
-```shell
-[profile simulator]
-role_arn = arn:aws:iam::<account-id>:role/simulator
-source_profile = simulator-sso
-```
-
-This time, ensure you login to your SSO profile, and then generate the STS credentials
-
-```shell
-export AWS_REGION=...
-aws sso login --profile simulator-sso
-source <(aws configure export-credentials --profile simulator --format env)
-```
