Expand the Show Access Key section to see the keys.

You will not be able to view the keys later on, so this is the only chance you'll have to Download Key File.

Note

All the commands from this chapter are available in the 11-aws.sh (https://gist.github.com/vfarcic/03931d011324431f211c4523941979f8) Gist.

We'll place the keys as environment variables that will be used by the tools we'll explore in this chapter:

export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=[...]

Please replace [...] with the actual values.

We'll need to install AWS Command Line Interface...
