Configuring API Credentials and AWS Idenity And Access Management
- The user with which you have created AWS Free trail (AWS Account) is called as root account
- For enabling programmatic access it is not recommended to use root account

- For Programmatic access to AWS, the crdentials of user is composed of two distinct parts
- Access Key Id
- Secret Access Key
- Each user may have up to two Active Access keys at any time.
- These access keys are long-term credentials and remain valid till you revoke them
- Create an IAM User: Refer Here for image demonstration
- Exercise: Create an IAM User with Adminstrator access and preserve access key and secret key.
- These Access Keys will be used by code or AWS CLI to access AWS Account to create/modify/delete resources
