I have an AWS Educate Account but I'm unable to get the Access Key ID and Secret Access Key for the account. It mentions that I do not have IAM access when I try to follow the AWS guide on getting these, does that mean that there's no way for me to get it using the educate account?
Access Keys are used to sign the requests you send to Amazon S3. Like the Username/Password pair you use to access your AWS Management Console, Access Key Id and Secret Access Key are used for programmatic (API) access to AWS services. You can manage your Access Keys in AWS Management Console.
1 Go to Amazon Web Services console and click on the name of your account (it is located in the top right corner of the console). Then, in the expanded drop-down list, select Security Credentials. 2 Click the Continue to Security Credentials button. 3 Expand the Access Keys (Access Key ID and Secret Access Key) option.
1) Go to Vocareum. This is kinda the main page of your student AWS account.
2) Find the blue button Account Details, click it - profit!
From vocareum main page > Account details > AWS CLI > Show Copy and paste the CLI details into '~/.aws/credentials' for mac and 'C:/users/%UserProfile%/.aws/credentials' for windows.
[default] region=us-east-1 aws_access_key_id=***** aws_secret_access_key=******* aws_session_token=***********************
'region' is not present in AWS CLI details from Vocareum. So please don't forget to add it. You can specify any region.
If you want to verify your details add 'output = json' along with the above details in your credentials file and run the command 'aws sts get-caller-identity'. It will display your Account ID, User ID and ARN.
To check if your CLI is working, you can try to connect to S3 bucket using aws s3 ls
