AWS Access Keys, CLI and SDK
To acces AWS, you have three options :
- 1. AWS Management Console (protected by password + MFA)
- 2. AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) : protected by access keys.
- 3. AWS Software Developer Kit (SDK) - for code: promoted by access keys.
Access keys are generated through the AWS Consle
Users manage their own access keys
Access Keys are secretm just like a password. Dont share them.
Access Key ID ~= username.
Secret Access Key ~= password.
