AWS CLI configuration¶
When using Amazon S3 to store data, a simple method of managing AWS access
is to set your access keys to environment variables. However, managing
mutiple sets of keys on a single machine (e.g. when working on multiple projects)
it is best to use a credentials file,
typically located in ~/.aws/credentials
. A typical file might look like:
[default]
aws_access_key_id=myaccesskey
aws_secret_access_key=mysecretkey
[another_project]
aws_access_key_id=myprojectaccesskey
aws_secret_access_key=myprojectsecretkey
You can add the profile name when initialising a project; assuming no applicable environment variables are set, the profile credentials will be used be default.
