Creating IAM Access Keys for AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY

stack:

• aws
• go

ref:

• https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_access-keys.html

intro:

IAM user access keys consist of two parts:

• Access key ID (for example: AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE)
• Secret access key (for example: wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY)

You must use both the access key ID and the secret access key together to authenticate requests made through the AWS SDK.

step:

1. Create IAM user

• Open the IAM Dashboard in the AWS Management Console. In the left navigation pane, choose Users.

• click Create user button

• set user name

• on set permissions, create group to attach the policies

• Set a group name and choose permission policies. These policies usually provide full access per AWS service. If you need more fine-grained control, you can create your own custom policies by selecting the Create policy button.

• after that, review and select Create User button

2. Create access key

• choose Create access key
  

• choose local code

• fill any meaningful name then choose create key

• if sucess, you will have AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY to put on .env

• now you can put both key on .env. AWS SDK will automatically detect the key on .env
