AWS Access Keys are required for interfacing with AWS through the command-line interface.<br />
* Different from the key pair used to validate logins<br />
<br />
If you have not setup AWS Credentials, but need them, here are some simple instructions:<br />
<br />
# In your EC2 Dashboard, click on your name in the upper right hand corner<br />
## Select Security Credentials<br />
<br />
Amazon recommends you use IAM Users:<br />
* If you don't already have this setup<br />
** Amazon will prompt you to set it up<br />
*** Select <code>Get Started with IAM Users</code><br />
** If you don't get this prompt and want to setup IAM Users, select the <code>Users</code> tab on the left<br />
** Select <code>Create New Users</code><br />
*** Enter your user names<br />
*** Ensure <code>Generate an access key for each user</code> has a checkmark next to it<br />
*** Click <code>Create</code><br />
*** Select <code>Download Credentials</code> and store in a safe/private/secure location<br />
**** This download contains your Access Key Id and your Secret Access Key - you will need these later if you use [[StarCluster]]<br />
** In the Users menu, select the user<br />
*** Attach the appropriate policy for that user.<br />
**** If you want full access, just set to <code>Administrator Access</code> & Apply the policy<br />
