Hi all, i am trying to figure out how to provision my Ray cluster in an AWS private subnet. For other admin purposes (e.g., db admin) i gain access to instances in my private subnet via a bastion host in a public subnet using an ssh tunnel. My question is how do i run `ray up -y config.yaml` when i have specified private subnets under ray.head.default and ray.worker.default?

Do i just need to copy over my AWS credentials and config.yaml to the bastion host and just run `ray up` there? Same applies for submitting jobs to the cluster? execute commands with the port forward option?
