initializing Horizon 6 Cloud Pod architecture for the first time

What credentials do I use to Initialize the federation? Does this need to be a service account or can I just use my creds?

You must have the necessary permissions in both pods, but you can use your own account - it's only used for setup of the trust and the credentials are not kept.

The key permissions that you need:

* Full administrator on the local View pod in order to run the command

* Full administrator on the remote View pod in order to configure trusts and enable federation when doing a join
