Configuration and Credentials File Settings

Supported Configuration Options

aws_access_key_id

Specifies the AWS access key used as part of the credentials to authenticate the command request. Although this can be stored in the AWSCONF file, we recommend that you store this in the AWSCRED file.

Can be overridden by the AWS^ACCESS^KEY^ID environment variable. You can't specify the access key ID as a command line option.

CODE

aws_access_key_id = AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE

aws_secret_access_key

Specifies the AWS secret key used as part of the credentials to authenticate the command request. Although this can be stored in the AWSCONF file, we recommend that you store this in the AWSCRED file.

Can be overridden by the AWS^SECRET^ACCESS^KEY environment variable. You can't specify the secret access key as a command line option.

CODE

aws_secret_access_key = wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY

region

Specifies the AWS Region to send requests to for commands requested using this profile.

You can specify any of the Region codes available for the chosen service as listed in AWS Regions and Endpoints in the Amazon Web Services General Reference.

You can override this value by using the AWS^REGION environment variable, AWS^DEFAULT^REGION environment variable, or the REGION command line option.

CODE

region = us-west-2
