You must establish how the AWS CLI authenticates with AWS when you develop with AWS services. To configure credentials for programmatic access for the AWS CLI, choose one of the following options. The options are in order of recommendation.
Configuration and credential precedenceCredentials and configuration settings are located in multiple places, such as the system or user environment variables, local AWS configuration files, or explicitly declared on the command line as a parameter. Certain authentication take precedence over others. The AWS CLI authentication settings take precedence in the following order:
Command line options â Overrides settings in any other location, such as the --region
, --output
, and --profile
parameters.
Environment variables â You can store values in your system's environment variables.
Assume role â Assume the permissions of an IAM role through configuration or the assume-role
command.
Assume role with web identity â Assume the permissions of an IAM role using web identity through configuration or the assume-role-with-web-identity
command.
AWS IAM Identity Center â The IAM Identity Center configuration settings stored in the config
file are updated when you run the aws configure sso
command. Credentials are then authenticated when you run the aws sso login
command. The config
file is located at ~/.aws/config
on Linux or macOS, or at C:\Users\
on Windows.USERNAME
\.aws\config
Credentials file â The credentials
and config
file are updated when you run the command aws configure
. The credentials
file is located at ~/.aws/credentials
on Linux or macOS, or at C:\Users\
on Windows.USERNAME
\.aws\credentials
Custom process â Get your credentials from an external source.
Configuration file â The credentials
and config
file are updated when you run the command aws configure
. The config
file is located at ~/.aws/config
on Linux or macOS, or at C:\Users\
on Windows.USERNAME
\.aws\config
Container credentials â You can associate an IAM role with each of your Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) task definitions. Temporary credentials for that role are then available to that task's containers. For more information, see IAM Roles for Tasks in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide.
Amazon EC2 instance profile credentials â You can associate an IAM role with each of your Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances. Temporary credentials for that role are then available to code running in the instance. The credentials are delivered through the Amazon EC2 metadata service. For more information, see IAM Roles for Amazon EC2 in the Amazon EC2 User Guide and Using Instance Profiles in the IAM User Guide.
