Interesting approach! 👍

Could you please clarify what was that "Access Key" mentioned? What it does and where do you store it in such a case?

To apply the Terraform, we first need to go to the user that was created in the CloudFormation template and create an Access Key.

Hello Serhii,

I have just updated the CloudFormation template to create the access keys and store them into secrets manager, previously it would have been manually creating by going into the user and creating the Access Key.

This is to implement this when services like SSO are not in place, as with those credentials you can export directly without needing that user to be created (As long as the SSO role has the required permission).

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,
Lewis
