Credentials + Access
- Before you can interact with an AWS service, you need to set up access
- Permissions correspond to IAM entities
- You can get access in a bunch of ways...
- Environment Variables
- Credentials File (in a well-known location only on your computer)
- Baked into your code (maybe a bad idea)
- ... and a few others
- Note: Some non-AWS-managed setups allow network connections. You're responsible for controlling that
